On holiday this week.

Margery Fortescue, Victor Cross (6), Stewart Valentine (13), Peter Hall (10) and Kenny Macleod (8) have chickenpox, they're not in hospital.

Clifton says he's dying of hunger - maybe appendicitis, perhaps gall-bladder; they're not sure about operation.

Newspaper says the Japs are eager to meet the enemy in Manila.  Parcels rumour afloat again.

Quiz in evening, men v. women; men won 14-12. I only managed 2 out of my 6 questions.

Air raid alarm about 9.15, heard planes but no bombs.
