Wrote a note to Marge on back of her Letter

Heard tonight that another 4 Jap machines flew over at dinner time. To go for swim at 3.30 in Coy truck. It didn't turn up. The 115th reserve came & Dud comandered it. I am on Battn guard tonight. Had a dip. Got over to guard on time. I got the first shift at the Q store. Had a cup of coffee & a piece of cake. Brought lamp over to use with Dud is going to write a letter after. Blankets came back tonight & they were the same ones. I don't think they belonged to the platoon. I took a good one anyhow.

Saturday May 2 Had breakfast & walked down to Nth [North] gate. Waited until about 8.15 before leave truck came. Got to town & posted tins & bottle to Mum Knocked about with Nev Bettany all day. We had quite a lot of beer. Went to the Matinee at the Roxy. & to the Wintergarden at night. Banked £4 & 17/- cheque. Spent about 30/- all day. Bought Married Love by Marie Stokes. Didn't do anything sensational.

Peter Taylor came into A Coy. He is in 7 platoon & is with 2 section. I hope he has a good time. Bought 8' file 1/6.
