((Following text not dated:))
All tram services suddenly suspended.....Use of electricity to be further restricted, 8 to 11 p.m.
Last month cost us about Y1,400. At this rate can't carry on. Stocktaking. We use about 40 catties rice monthly. Running out of wood and it costs Y44 a picul. Vegetables in roof garden all spoiled by rain and insects. Pumpkins disappointing, rotting, but hens laying well. Tried eat banana skins. Bitter and not inviting.
