I have joined this Club & it is very cosy. Nice & quiet also warm. It is just a nice walk from our Hospital & if I am to be here for the winter months will find it very convenient. Our room in Hosp. is very popular so get very little time for writing. To-day is my day-off (the first for three weeks) so stayed in bed this morning & had a lovely rest, got up & dressed ready to go out for 1 o'clock dinner.
