Didn't go to Fort.

HH came in, discussed the food position, a Brigadier Minnis, RE, called with
Hills, discussed stone from Bn & then HH left & I took him down to hospital &
later went to see Steele who looked rather the worse for wear.

Hutchings came round in afternoon & stayed some time, mowed the lawn. Didnt go
out.

the terrace, very cool & dry.
