Friday 9 November 1917
Rose 10 a.m., sewed, read of the fall of Gaza & how well our Australians have done. Home sister gives me a cup of tea 6.30 a.m. so suppose am very favored, they are kindness itself but I should like to be on duty as soon as these legs feel strong enough.
2.30 p.m. went to Cairo with S. Watson & shopped till 5 p.m., then Groppi's for tea. Managed well though our French being nil & no knowledge of current coins the same, shopping is difficult. Bought 1 pr. shoes £1.5.0, cap – top – P. cards & envelopes, latter 10 d. pkt. Everything very dear & poor quality shoes. Photos piastres 7 for a roll of 10 to be developed.
Home by tram (1/2 piastre for 2 A.A.N.S.). The women cover their faces but expose their breasts at times. Quantities of jewellery worn & thick anklets of silver.
