Wood, I had liked particularly when I had visited with him at the Rock and around various places. The men were all three anti-aircraft artillery men, the first of those I'd encountered. When the dance here ended at 1, we went across the road to a hotel called Belles Rives and danced till 2.
Today I slept till almost noon, as I had a headache. I guess it was the hot sun on the water. After lunch I went to Eden Rock and swam awhile. I saw Capt. Wood and got acquainted with two new restees, one of whom is interesting because he sinks in salt water like a ton of lead. They wanted a date, but somehow I wasn't intrigued, so I got vague. I came home about 4 and slept till 7. As I was going in to eat I bumped into a Red Cross supervisor so ate with her. She suggests I ask for club work in staging areas or in Germany for a while. I may do it.
After supper I met a couple of R.C. girls from up around Liege whom I'd seen in a meeting & we went out to a table and before long we were joined by three artillery officers. Somehow I inherited two of them
