23.8.45. Fine day but signs of a change. Porridge sugar milk breakfast, rice greens & oil tiffin, & rice oil & sugar for tea. We all got small parcels today from Kwong Yue Loong & from Kwong Cheung Hing today¹⁸. Japanese nibbled at doing us well today & sent in demerara sugar & saki. Issue of 1lb of the former & 2½ ounces of saki – which I enjoyed. Some tins of coffee came in too. In evening saw Joney & Dick & had coffee with them – excellent. Wrote chits to the Gellings & Ann Rogers which Hammy delivered for me today.
