4. that night, so Frank's 1 1/2 hours in the flat was spent in making gargles & hot water bottles - & I suppose, a few coy kisses. I was livid - & if I had known that was all that was going on, I should have busted in, & dragged him off home.

But he is rather a bore about the whole thing - & most of the officers seem to know about it, which seems as though he is rather proud of himself: he is always having little sly jokes & hearty cracks about himself. Very silly - & I get fed up with it all.

Apart from all that - life just goes on. As mench, one seems to always be in a rush & never to have finished.

Just now, I am very busy swotting up map reading - as I am in the middle of giving a series of 18 lectures.
