take any interest in it for a long time, I simply couldn't put my mind to it, though now I like signalling well, our food was much improved here, a typical breakfast this would be, viz. chops or steak, plenty of bread, butter & jam, whips of tea for dinner we generally had a stew or roast with onions, cabbage, potatoes & etc. for tea at night they always turned out boiled potatoes, what for I don't know for no one used to eat them, we always had plenty of good tea, or coffee & stacks of bread butter jam & etc. it was shameful to see the bread that was wasted there, & the jam we had tons of it good jam it was to, nearly all from Jones factory at Hobart.
we used to have good times at Kenso for most of the chaps had friends & relations, & they used to bring big hamper's of all sorts of good things, & of course the boys would share them round.
It was here that Reg Duke & myself chummed up, & a right good mate he was, we used to have some good times together.
Not so very long before we left Kensington Len came down from Scone to see me, & while there he kidded me to have my photo taken in my equipment, I have regretted ever since, that those photos ever reached home, if I could lay my hands on them, I don't think they would live long, a chap looks a perfect fool in them
