I was not called on for duty by the S.P. today so I had to spend the
time reading in the recreation room.
It was very hot today as it has been for the last two days as a result
of the Kamseen wind.

Hot and stuffy this morning I was awakened not by a sergeant shouting
H.O.P. or an alarm bell but by the damned flies crawling over my face. I did not think it necessary to put up my net
before.
“Bull shit” was the order of the day before the Quarterly
inspection. As I am on gate guard from 6pm – 9pm & 12 midnight to 3am, I hope to get off it.
On the Gate Guards my duty is to take up my position in the Sanger at
the gate to inspect any vehicles arriving at the gate before letting them enter
or if civilian refusing them entry.
The constant watch carried out by the T.A.C. should also be carried
out by the B.C. but it is frequently interrupted with the usage of an
improvised seat in the Sanger.
The duty is rather dull & the rest of the day one feels very tired
as owing to the heat it is almost impossible to sleep.
