Bad throat. Very cold.
Fire opposite us in the night - very near thing. There were just sooty sparks at first ((from the tenements on other side of the road)), but later the fire really got going. All the gongs in the neighbourhood were beating as alarms, several huge tongues of fire blew over in our direction. ((Discussions among us at what to do if the wind blew the flames across the road to our hotel.))
