Marked out for Con (convalescence) camp. This being at Cayeux sur Mer. Felt better, but far from well.

Left at 10am by charabanc for the Number 5 Con camp. Took the tip from an old hand, apply for work on arrival. That would mean six weeks at the camp. This I did and obtained a job in the Mess Room. A good job just to clear tables and sweep up. Only about three hours a day in all.
