SUNDAY 21 JANUARY    RV2

Things were tailing off enough now for us to have a day off.

It was a very hot and dusty day.

We slept late – a luxury. Stayed in our cool rooms, reading – me, watching TV – John. I did go and do our washing. Usually, I washed our work clothes every few evenings, after tea, along with most of the camp!  I saw the point of all those driers in the laundries.

As it happened, part way through the day, the concrete mixing attachment blew some hoses, so all the men knocked off for the rest of the day.
