text: In this way the conversation carries on in quite a lively manner. The weather is beautiful and warm. (189) In my tent it is getting too hot with the tilley lamps and I have to set the table so that one corner of it with the lamp sticks out. The water is cloudy and tastes so badly that one can hardly drink it.
