1 extra bread, and PORRIDGE in afternoon and evening, and stewed fruit and suspicion of custard after tiffin. Think I'm putting on weight (having lost about 10 lbs since Christmas).
((The porridge, from canteen, was the most fantastic morale builder. For a few precious evenings, the electric cookers in one of the former Married Q. kitchens were made available to us by our kitchen staff. Inevitable queue of people waiting their turn to go in with their tins to cook up their little bits. Surprising discovery that one internee was hogging a ring to herself for long time - actually boiling her sheets because 'she always boiled her sheets'.))
