Had instructions to work at CSO starting Wed.

Loads of troops from Shamshuipo came in. Saw Mr Hudson, a neighbour when we Redwoods lived in Naval Terrace.

We had LUMPS of meat - lashings.

Mr. Hall visited us ((our pre-war lodger, a colleague of Dad's who came to stay with us after Dad died. his wife being evacuated to Australia.))  One of his eyes is blind as a result of an operation, which can maybe fixed up later. He's been working outside his camp quite a lot, and was with Arthur Alsey, Sid Hale and Topper Brown before they went to Japan.
