Got up at 10:45, went and got washed and brushed my teeth. Fish and I went to eat. I mailed 2 letters which I had written the night before. One was to Uncle Jack and the other to Avc. Len Robinson. We had roast beef, potatoes, gravy, peas, bread, butter, coffee and chocolate ice cream. Best meal since we've been here. At one o'clock in the afternoon Ish and I went to Howard Hall where they had a movie. All movies are free. We saw "Panama Hattie" - Ann Sothern, Red Skelton, Ben Blue, Dan Dailey, Jr., etc. Very good but very old. I came back to the barracks just now and made some lemonade and opened up a supper K-ration and as I write I am eating corned pork loaf and drinking lemonade. Mmmm. Just finished eating, feel good!

Time 3:37 PM. After eating supper Ish and I went to another movie. This time at Beatty Hall. We saw Spencer Tracy , Katherine Hepburn in "Keeper of the Flame." An oldie but one that I hadn't seen. It was very enjoyable. Also a comedy with the 3 Stooges which was a howl. Incidentally tonite for supper we had sausages, tomato sauce, mashes potatoes, carrots and peas, marmalade, coffee, buns. It was the first time since I've been in the army that we didn't have cold cuts for supper. Nice change.

Coming home from the show we noticed brilliant searchlights scanning the sky off to the north east - tell that by locating the North Star. We saw occasional flashes of light - but soon everything went out. Came inside and Ish is eating a K-ration and lemonade.

CE and Fisher have been gone all day. Somewhere in town. Must be having fun, or something. Tonight I bought a watch from Ish for 4 pounds ($16.00) Easily worth more - I shall use it for speculation. This afternoon I took 6 or 7 pictures of Ish and I standing by a fence with a pastoral background. Hope!
