bad but us they catch the "Diggers" for such trifles as these.
28th. Never felt so rotten for many a long day as I have done practically all last night, I had a fit of the "blues", & nothing could please me. I just felt as if I wanted to be left alone. The lady who I was with tried her hardest to cheer me up. She took me to a dance thinking the music & life would do me good but she could not have picked a worse place for I can't dance & this only made me feel worse. We did not stop there long so she took me home & there we spent the rest of the evening with the family. I soon came round then & by the time I left I was in the best of spirits. The last time I had a fit of these "blues" was nearly a year ago at "Rossignol Wood" just close to Ypres. The only thing I can put them down to is restlessness & dissatisfaction with the whole concern & I am sure until I get out of the Military I shall often have them.
