19 April 1940

The day after tomorrow or to see us somewhere within sight of Curaçao. It is becoming oppressively hot, and electric storms are all around. I expect we shall be in White tomorrow. Although hot, it is not really sunny – only spasmodically.

Sitting with earphones on, near an electric storm, courses cracks in the phones which sound like me to shatter your eardrum any minute.

Just as a matter of interest, I will get the programme of meals per day, To give you some idea of how much we eat.

7:30 am – tea and toast (brought to cabin)

8:30 am – breakfast

12:30 am – lunch (Same size as a dinner)

3:45 pm – tea and toast (brought to where you are)

5:30 pm – dinner.

Tea and sandwiches, on watch, if wanted!

The lack of exercise is rather getting me down. I miss the running, cycling, and walking. However, maybe I should get some during the three weeks which we will probably stay in New Zealand.
