sunday

It's quiet. We've been playing dominoes, 500 and chess. The Czechs have come back with more food. Some New Zealander arrives at 3 a.m. and asks whether anything is needed. Somebody said that they'd like some aspirin. The chap says he'll go back home to Johnsonville to get them. He goes. inspite of protests, and returns with aspirin. coffee and other supplies. More members of the public arrive during the day.

A church service! We stand, heads bowed (in prayer?), as Gerald Rose, a minister in the Lower Hutt Church of Christ, reads the Word. All in all, a quiet day.
