Bill
Woke up about 6 feeling cold. Wind had gone to the east. Got up about 6.45, shaved and took my tools into the guard room. After then, cleaned my rifle. The * end of the *** is still bad. Had breakfast, ham and cornflakes. After breakfast, went on with the job, painting the bridge. Flt Lt Ball came in with three dyes and a roll of tape. He wanted green, navy blue and black, 5 yds each and he thought the others looked well. I went to the cookhouse to ask them to out a kettle of water on for me, then I found three tins and put the dyes half of a tin in each and cut three sticks. I got the hot water and put the *** in. They stuck together, so had to *** and see that each piece had a soaking of dye. After then I hung out to dry. Had dinner, meat, beans, potatoes, bread and fig pudding, custard. I went back to hut and had a snooze, then back to work. ** Ball sent some cones in to cut so did those and then packed up to go to tea. had tinned herrings and cake. Got dressed and cycled to Rodwell. met Doris and then we sat in chair while Lyn played on piano. Helped to get in chest of drawers.

Lyn played alone in the garden all the morning, ever so good. Snoozed til 3 (finished by 1.45!) then wrote recipes til 4. Had a bath, got Lyn up, got tea and we had ours, went to meet Bill. We got the washing in, put Lyn to bed plus story then read together in the dining room. Mr S has lost his sergeant's stripes. Up to the top with Bill and now to bed, tired, 10.33pm. G. Night.
