The weather which has been quite remarkable the last 5 weeks seems to have broken as far as the sun is concerned, for both yesterday & today have been quite dull but one good thing the temperature has risen & its nothing near as cold as usually.
26th. Went down to Plymouth last night & had the usual look round but things were very quiet & uneventful.
Had another rotten route march this morning, they are making things a welter properly now & are trying to be regimental. I can see some fun if they insist on carrying it out, for at this stage of the business no one is inclined for any silly stunts & the whole Camp fed up with the delay of ships for Australia, just think scores of us have been hung up here for 6 weeks & no one seems to know when we are going to get away. I would far rather have been left at Sutton Veney. I am sure I was far more contented there than here, besides the saving of money.
