We have just opened tin labelled  'stewed steak and rice' and it turned out to be a beef steak pudding – a lovely surprise; Mum kept hiking out more and more lumps of 'fat' to save for frying – then realised it was dumpling.

Pat Cullinan ((Police)) went in to town today for x-ray.

Mabel got an egg from the Welfare.

News is vaguely that there will be fighting in Stanley.
