I put my tools and wood in drying room and started work. Half past ten, pay parade. Drew £2.10.0. 16/- shillings back pay. It will be Lyn's. Came back and wrote up some of this diary. Carried on with job. Went down to sketch Rapier Hanger. Went over to office and consulted P/O Mostermon and ** Ball. Made models smaller, then took them down again for alterations. Had dinner. Corned beef, greens and potatoes, sultana pudding with custard. Carried on with work and finished off some more models. Went to tea and had meat minced with vegetables, and cake. Toasted a pieces and had some Beetox on it. Played Kelly with draughts, won odd games, then went to supper. Had a pie and got some ginger beer. Sat round fire. Watched the lads playing poker. Saw kitty go 40/- - 27/- and *** *** *** ones. The rang up Doris. Lyn was all right but not too good tempered, and she had written to my Mother. Came back and scrubbed gum boots and watched card players. Toasted some more bread and got ready for bed and then put things away. Good night.
