| #4 Friday Nov 14/41
Miserably cold today with a cutting wind. Just realized what bad condition I am in; tried to run around the billets twice and almost collapsed, it's a lazy life I have been leading. Will have to watch myself or I will go into a slump, smoke now about twenty four cigs a day. On Friday here, we get fish soup, it's the worst yet. We get large pieces of skin with the scales on in it, boy what a life.
The chief topic is what the boys will do first on arrival in England. The chief ones are 75% getting pie eyed, 20% women and 5% clean clothes and a good hot bath and a comfortable bed. Mine is the latter after which I will join the 75 %, women don't affect me seriously, so leave that when I arrive natural. |
