Hot night, cramp and left chest pain, poor sleep.

Overcast, cooler, rain.

5th anniversary of outbreak of European War. We have the assured satisfaction of knowing there will not be a 6th. 

Oil 4oz. Sugar 1.6oz & Curry Pwdr 1oz issued. Mrs Brown gave me hers.[This written above the curry powder] ((MW Brown?))

Aberville captured. Lodz & Cracow too? Germany collapsed yesterday? North, the chap here who makes up a series of very useful notes from the Chinese & Japanese papers, thinks that the European war will be over within 10 days. ((Rees North, or R A C North ?))

With Steve pm.

Hungry.

Lorry arrived with a good load of veg. at 9.30pm.
