N. THU 24 NOV

My Darling Niesi,

Nice long letter in tonight - written 13 NOV - which is about par of the course now - about 10 days. I'm terribly pleased with the way the little sweeties are behaving - they are being much more grown up than I ever thought they would be and I'm very very proud of them. I'm terribly pleased that weenie won the prize at Sunday school and that the other girls also seem certain to do well. They certainly tried hard enough this year and they deserve to do well. I presume by now you've received the registration papers - as you suspected the dumb buns sent them here so I returned them the same day I got them - but you sorted it out very well without them - well done my sweetie you did very very well!! I think the prices from the garage seem very reasonable - they certainly aren't robbing you pet. I'm very glad the $270 arrived, there is only the $99.75 thru the US system which I hope won't be too long. The MBS on Kerry was beaut - you can't complain at a 60c hospital bill. I don't know why the Murphy's put up with slob [deleted] - he's hopeless [deleted] a stinking nuisance staying that late on you - you need your sleep after the day you have pet. I think I'll close now as I had a long day and am a little beat. I'll finish this at lunch tomorrow to catch the out mail at 1.00 Sleep tight my wonderful Neisi.

Back again. Been out to PHU VANG on a contact this morning. Am currently soaking wet and covered in mud not that that is desperately unusual around here at the moment. It's pouring with rain on the whole place is flooded. The men up here don't mind in the least about the colours they wear and it's a little odd to see Maj Bace in his LAVENDAR raincoat 'dep qua' (very beautiful!) I'm off to Phu Luc and VIHN Loc to visit the live operations we have going this afternoon then I've go two hours of visual recce in L19 from 4 - 6 so it's a fairly busy afternoon. Tonight I'll catch up on all the useless paperwork. Its growing with our new Division Senior adviser. He wants reports on everything he loves paper.

I'm just eating a fresh bread roll and SALAMI for lunch as I write. My roomate and I now eat up here for lunch instead of the mess hall Its cheaper and much tastier to have a bread roll and a bottle of coke than the slush they serve and charge 80c for.

I received your Christmas cards which I loved! today and also the presents which I have carefully locked away without peeking at all! Must close now, my honey buns. I'm very proud of all four of my sweeties and I'll try and make up on our lovely holiday for not being with you this Christmas. I love you so very very much

Your old

Daddy diddles
