Up 7.30 am & had a good tasty stew for breakfast. Wrote to Base Post Office, Uncle Fred & home. XX After dinner walked into Weymouth, about 2 miles walk. Went down the 2 main streets, & saw some naval motor launches - I think they were for mine-laying - at the end of the street in the river. Bought picture p/cards of the place & also sent a book of views to Mother. Also went on to the pier & saw the Channel Islands steamer. Had some tea at the Australian YMCA & then left for the camp before it got too dark, arriving back at 6 pm. On the way back passed Capt Barton from our C.C.S. [Casualty Clearing Station] but did not speak to him. When in Weymouth this afternoon saw chap named Clark who was our company orderly room corporal in 35th Btn. He is now a Lieut. Very heavy gale last night & this morning.

Wind has now completely dropped. Sent p/cards of Weymouth to Australia & to Ida. After dinner walked about 2 miles along road to Abbotsbury & Bridport, passing through village of Chickerell. Also had plenty of Blackberries. Had fine view of the coast from one of the hills. Saw a "Blimp" airship flying along the coast. Was a beautiful afternoon of sunshine. Passed Capt D Barton again today but had no chance of speaking to him.
