Standing in the cupboard is an aquarium jar two-thirds full of date and ginger jam - looks lovely. The parcel chocolate, although plain, tastes so milky that it's almost incredible to think there is something better, i.e. milk chocolate.
Had a spoonful of Nestles Milk - absolute heaven!
Washed my hair in cold water, because Mr Allison wouldn't give me any hot water. ((Mr A presided all day long over a couple of household electric water boilers in the Married Q. There was always a queue for hot water for tea or whatever. This morning he told the us the water hadn't quite boiled, so I said could I have my ration as I didn't need boiling water for washing my hair, but he said I couldn't have water for hair-washing.))
Went visiting for choir members. Betty Aslett says she will come if we have Latin classes.
In evening, to Dr. I. Newton's 'Glimpses into Surgical History' about asepsis.
