Very damp but not much falling. After tea fed fowls. 10 eggs. Must try and get rid of some of the stags* . Food is getting very dear.
We have started jam sandwiches for tea to save butter, the family call them “the rations”. They are very large & thick and with the crust attached.

A quiet day with no news of the outside world.
