I collected parcel from Aunt Daisy.  The cake it contained was in perfect condition but the icing was cracked & the tin dented beyond hope of further use.  I was charged 110 mills import duty.

I cut in [it] for my roommates & I at 8 this evening, they were as eager as I.

Today I start a week of escort duty to the Superintendent of Police, Mr Middleton.

I have to report each morning at his office at 7.30.
This morning he told me I would not be required until 4 pm.

At 4 pm we went to the Horticultural Garden’s near Jacob’s Well.
