Post cards from Shamshuipo - I had one from dear old Harry Chalcroft! ((one of Olive's ex-boyfriends)).  Neither Olive nor Mabel had one. Rosaleen had 4 from friends, but none from Bert, her Royal Scots husband.  ((We didn't know then that The Royal Scots had been taken to Japan 2 months earlier on the 'Lisbon Maru' which was sunk.  Bert survived, but his marriage to R didn't after the war.))

Ate a whole tin of M & V tonight, it was a mistake but I would do it; and we had salmon chow fan.
