but quieter these last few days, so are having a whole day off to-morrow – all we old ones are having it in turns. The new ones are releiving us. I had this afternoon too. Matron is trying to arrange for us all to have a day & a half – so things are looking-up.
Last Sunday afternoon I went out with a party from here to see A Religious procession (R.C.) at the Virgins Well & the Holy Tree – It was most impressive. We drove out in Gharreys & got there at 3.30 p.m. left there & the drive back to Heliopolis was lovely – a most beautiful sunset, the days are very short now & the sun sets about 5.15 p.m.
We reached The Palace about that time, met Sister Ester Hart & three of us (Sister Bonnin & self) went into Cairo to Church. 6 p.m. Enjoyed the service very much – the church was crowded but we got a seat. Returned in time for 8.30 p.m. dinner & then to bed. Slept soundly all night.
