Back at the Base. What more can one say? Hell!

Yesterday afternoon Steve and I saw a very good film and forgot the war in a land of
fancy for three hours. But at last it ended and the lights went up and they played the Egyptian National Anthem.

“And now the leave is over,” I said. “Yes,” said Steve sorrowfully. “Lets prolong it for an hour by having tea in town,” I suggested. We did!
