Mon, 1 Jan 1945
Just before 12, some people went out in courtyard and clanged Block 5's bell. Several people knocked on our door and first-footed us and wished us Happy New Year - don't know who they all were! Clifton came along and kissed us (except for Mum who was asleep in bed). People were noisy for about half an hour after.
Mabel had a meal ! - Half a rissole etc. We each slept on a crumb of wedding cake from Vincent & Marie's reception yesterday.
This morning to Mass, big crowd there. Brought Annie (Van Der Lely - Dutch) back for hot 'pancakes' and lime juice.
Worked in afternoon.
Supposed to be an air raid in evening.
We opened our last tin of bully.
Talk in our room at night by Mr Gimson on 'Elephant Hunting in Ceylon.'
