Arrived at Suez, for Adibaya, at 10am, ship lay very far out. ((We were told we would be supplied with clothes here.))  The first 'clothing parties' went ashore soon after.

Entertainers came aboard: a crack RAF band, and 3 shows, the 'Fiddlededees' with Eileen Lawson, a Mr. Edge on piano with Suzette Odell singing, and a Shakespearean actor.

I had a cigarette!
