Officially, bread starts again tomorrow and is being issued for midday meal instead of morning. Had coffee with milk and sugar this morning, this is the last of the coffee. Our vegetable stew was very meagre, being practically clear soup and no vegetables.

Got weighed today, 52 Kilos, a loss of 1/2 Kilo or roughly 17 ozs.

The rice for our evening meal was cooked in fat with a few small pieces of meat on top, the stew was tasty but devoid of all solids, it was all very nice and· a pleasant change but really nothing to write home about.
