Our room's turn to sweep the passage.

Water-carrying day; spent a long time at water hydrant, then went down to well.  ((strangely, now I can't remember where that well was!)).  There's a pump now.  Met Concannon there, he carried water up for me. Got most of my washing done, and hair.

Newspaper supposedly suppressed.  Rumours of Canton being surrounded.

Clifton still on fluid diet (at hospital).

Lovely stew - carroty and oniony - for tiffin.
