Mum and I both feeling better.  Was able to get milk for Mum from Baby Clinic.  ((A small number of little bottles of fresh milk were went in daily byJaps for children, and a few for the most needy cases in hospital.))

We had fun turning out suitcases  ((and enjoying holding Olive's trousseau - lovely silk underwear - which our amah had taken to her in the Chinese hotel.))

Wet and cold.
