Mabel (finally) came home from hospital today.  ((Note the word 'home'!))

We ate half a tin of bacon tonight, half a tin of liver pate, and a small tin of tomatoes - a delicious fry up eaten on Mrs K's table borrowed for the occasion.  ((It was Mrs K's table (tiny) because she was the first occupant of the room where it was.))

Rumour of big naval victory for us by Solomons - Churchill said 'another Jutland.'

Lots of babies have dysentery.

Gaol birds provided with camp beds.
