Visited Pat Cullinan ((Police, TB patient in hospital)) He's now caught malaria.  He said how wonderful Dr Y-E had been to him, (and to M. Manning and C. Coull, both also Police in hospital with TB).  He's fed up at getting malaria, as it's another bother for Dr Y-E.  I didn't stay long, he has loads of visitors and they were lining up.   Pat had been having APT treatment every week for about a year before our war, he said there was a time when he thought he was for the next world, but Dr Y-E pulled him through.

Mabel and I went for a tramp this evening to collect a 'Yule log'!  Only managed a few twigs.  We went to see Billie Gill, Brian already in bed, so sweet.
