Much less air patrols by Japs today.
Conflicting reports of damage in town in Camp.
Bowls Single Finals played off. Oram beat Bradley. ((There was a Miss J A Oram in camp, but would they have had mixed-sex competition in Bowls? The other possibility is Mr J Orem.))
Sie miss mir wollen. ((Jill Fell: The nearest thing I can think of is "Sie muss mehr wollen" = "She must want more." I wonder if he was learning by ear. "Mehr" is almost the same pronunciation as "mir". "Mir" = "to me" doesn't make sense in this context.))
Grinding rice.
(In raids on HK we lost 2 & Japs lost 12 planes) We have advanced 100 mls in Lybia & have complete control of Indian Ocean. (Taikoo raided 2.30PM?)
