George Wright-Nooth records in his diary that he's now reduced to cleaning his teeth with ashes, and that four razor blades have lasted him a month, and will need to be used still longer - they're very expensive, and it's either blades or food.

Thick low mist all day. Dry.

With Steve pm. Talked about food as usual.

(Americans landed at Mirs Bay & local Japs seem very moody lately?)

Temp. dropped a little.

Oh! for some good news, real stuff that we can believe. Surely next E. Sun? I can look back to this entry in more comfortable & happier surroundings  & with a full tummy.
