New currency started. Newspaper free this morning because Yen were obsolete and HK dollars weren't available first thing.  Tonight I received HK$200.

Now moved into office with clerk at Supreme Court.  Furious rain and an ugly storm in morning.

HMS Duke of York is in harbour now, very near and large.

Olive had good time on Vindex last night, they came home in a Jeep.  ((The Jeep, developed while we were interned, was new to us!))
