Saturday 19th September 1942

I am on duty again – as stand-by operator for “X” car – from 7p.m. tonight until 7p.m. tomorrow night. Dewhurst has managed to get an afternoon pass today, however – the only one in the tent.

Exam lecture today. My subject was cable-laying! I spoke for 15 minutes and then was stopped. Wish they'd have let me go on for another hour, I was quite enjoying myself!
