Sunday 15th March

Bill

Sunday up at 8.15, felt browned off. Went to breakfast, had porridge, liver and bacon, coffee. Came back and cleaned up buttons and ammunition. Read The People, felt better. Cut off a piece of wood and started to make a house for Lyn, but it did not go right, so decided the Sabbath was not a good time to start. Packed up at 12. Went to dinner and had stew and date pudding and custard. Rang up Doris, she was harping on about that extra time for leave. I heard Lyn on the phone and she broke the foot off her doll. Said I would ring up at 8. Got ready for guard on 7 post. *** and on first shift. Read a story and came off, sat in guard room, cursed having to be in on a Sunday. Went to tea and had German sausage and a piece of cake. It needed a ramrod to push it down. Toasted cake and sat by fire, am going back to guard hut 5.20. Had a read and went on at stand to 19.05. 20.00 had supper, pies and baked potatoes. Rang up Doris and then got my bedding over, read some magazines and then got into bed. Read for a while and then dropped off to sleep.

Rodwell. Up about 8.45 and Lyn completely dressed herself. Washed up, did potatoes and beds then wrote to Mother. Started to knit a pair of knickers for Lyn. Lyn stayed up to dinner, then bed. I knitted all the afternoon. Tea by 5, so after I washed up, took Lyn to see the sheep and lambs. Bed. I then darned socks and pants, then knitted and read. Bill rang up dinner time and tonight. He's on 7 post. He's going to try and get extended leave so we can go to Suffolk. I hope we can. Going to have a good wash now, and bed 10.40 pm.
