have caught about a basin full of water! I hope very soon to move into a tent where things will be far more comfortable in every way, it's advisable too, to get a good sound roof over one before the weather breaks. It would be much better for studying too as the huts have electric light laid on. Still plugging away at the M.G. course, having exams fairly frequently, had 2 last week , haven't been put out of action by any of them yet I am glad to say! By te way I am forgetting a most important thing & that is to thank you very much for the nice box of qinch" you sent me, it arrived yesterday & needless to say I have already sampled it, it is A no1.
