Fine sunny day but cold.

Repairs to cistern.  

Choir practice wash-out due to lack of numbers.

Saw Steve pm.

Fish cut 50% permanent.

Rumour re repatriation up again (Paratroops dropped between here & Canton)

All lights off 9.30pm. Raid on Colony 10pm lasted 10 mins. Very entertaining for us. Heavy stuff dropped. One machine lingered a little after the bombers had gone and did a little strafing on his own.
