4th and 5th January - Ron's first weekend at Shafa Amr, but he doesn't feel up to much...

Saturday, 4th January, 1947

In the morning the hut was scrubbed and generally cleaned.  We helped secure the battery powered perimeter lights.

In the afternoon I was free so wrote to Aunt Fan & Uncle Ronald.

A short but heavy thunderstorm this afternoon left the camp very muddy.

Sunday, 5^th January 1947

I woke this morning feeling a bit off colour so lay on until lunchtime.  It has been blowing very hard this morning but no rain as yet.

Wrote letters to Tony & David.  Still felt a bit queer in evening - throat rather sore.
