I have had four boxes of chocolate

26th December [1915] (Sunday)

Still glorious warm weather. No rain or cold now for a week.
Trench digging all day. RE attempts at blasting rock most unsuccessful, to my astonishment.
Turn in early after a slack day. Post from Tommy, Wilfie, Aunt Lucy and chocolates from Aunt Annie and cigarettes from Aunt Gertie. I have had four boxes of chocolate, Cross 3 and Anderson 1 and all are well on the way to extinction. Funny what childish tastes one develops!
