All ready to go - when we were told that we had to stay because of tyre trouble. Lofty and I spent the morning on our beds. After tiffin, when the heat of the afternoon became so intense, we lay on our beds and perspired freely. It was a lazy day, not a breeze stirred, the trees seemed unable to breathe for the heat & dryness. The flies were not idle - they buzzed around all day - annoying little pests.
After dinner and a pleasant cool shower, we spent an evening at the mess. Having no soft drinks this evening we tried another canteen, but the length and depth of the queue decided us to be content with water.
I wrote and posted my first letter home from here, & with a feeling of satisfaction, went to bed.
