Draw for two 10 lb. iced cakes made by Father B. Meyer. Won by Mrs. V. Murrell and Mrs. B. Doering. Air raid during proceedings.
(During this wek, I got Yen 230 from Ivy Denton - some time ago I'd given her a tin of parcel Cowbell milk power to sell for us to get canteen money to get extras for Mum when she was in hospital.)
There was a draw for a cockerel - from surplus cockerels owned by an enterprising internee who somehow had a few chickens. Sheila Haines won one.
Extension of evening curfew tonight.
Walked round camp with Mabel and Clifton while the United Churches choir sang deep-throated harmonising carols. The Fortescues let us peep in on Adrian after 'Father Christmas' had been and left presents, and he was fast asleep. A lovely night.
