Overcast, low cloud, showery.
Collected congee from A1-3 kitchen. Some residents still dissatisfied re routine, quantity etc.
Posted June card to Marj indicating need for holiday similar to the one they had down on a farm last year.
Rained too much for wood cutting.
Disconnected electrical hotplates etc as the amount of elec. now allowed will not permit their use.
No paper today so we are sans news.
Ferry service, so called, from HK discontinued.
Use of electricity in HK greatly curtailed. Slowly the public & ourselves are being deprived of essentials. Come on Nimitz!
