26 Dec: Wed. (12.00 pm)

    Had another day off, although some of the watches were back at work. Did all the washing which has gradually been creeping up to quite a pile. 

    Heard the Gift Shop is selling swimming masks and four of us have decided to get one each. The mail plane comes in on Friday with all the mail left from Xmas and the ‘Fort Beau’ has docked at Port London with another load. 

    Played cards with Don B. Terry & Tony and won 550 fags. I sold these back to Terry and made over £1 out of it.
