Dear Mrs. Jack,
Hope I don't burden you with my frequent and dull letters. They are dull because there is nothing I can tell you of interest. We don't do much really & you wouldn't be in the least interested by a recital of the daily programme.
Same thing every day, now that I have sort of settled to things I can keep the work well down & have I think too much spare time, so I am going to start swatting up gunnery again. I have sort of dropped behind lately.
The weather is still most uncertain, quite warm & close & drowsy the last few days & we had a tremendous storm on Friday evening, one of the real Riverina ones. Most spectacular but I didn't enjoy it as I was 8 miles from here & had a bike & was rather worrying about getting back. However it cleared up & I managed all right.
