September
18: After many attempts, the doctor allowed me up for a few hours on the balcony & am feeling much better though very thin & weak. Buying my food from Cairo & since my admission, have spent about #163;5 to keep myself alive, the food is just as bad as ever.
22: Asked to be discharged, the doctor letting me go at last, not even feeling my pulse & my temperature was exactly 100. Glad to get out on good food & can treat myself better than the doctor has done to me. Had a hard job to pass the C.O. who said I looked too weak, but let me out on condition I went to the seaside at Alex. for fourteen days & put me on the A.I.F. sick allowance of 4/- per day. Put up at Rossmore House.
24: Went to Alexandria, stayed at the Windsor, near the sea, plenty of surfing & feeling first rate now.
26: Went to Nouzah Gardens had a good day with some French people of Alex., who made us very welcome in their homes. Amusements poor in Alex., not an English show – except pictures in the town.
