I have fed so well. Today's meals ((at hospital)): 2 slices of bread and jam (one with butter) in morning  An extra slice saved.  Tiffin - rice, soya beans, cabbage, small piece of fatty mutton and lump of fat. Evening - mutton stew, with an enormous bone with meat on (whch saved for Mum), slice of cold bully beef and a spoonful of tinned vegetable salad, and piece of tomato, and 2 slices of bread, one buttered.

Took bread up to room, I had 1 slice, Mum & Olive shared the other;  then cocoa, one fig and one apple ring. Had a fruit drop from Mrs K; a piece of chocolate from Olive; a cup of cocoa, one fig and one apple ring.  Mum had dumplings today in rations. 

Canteen today, bought porridge, I'm dying to have it tomorrow.
