Dad has a berth in West Wing, the berths have no windows, but were it not for the tree you'd be able to see the window opposite his berth on the third floor.

The berths on the third floor are marginally smaller than the 9' x 9' of most, this is the view from as close as I could get to the wall

Monday was a long day for Dad so he'd gone to bed fairly early having set his new alarm clock for 0630. Note, his
new alarm clock.
The alarm duly went off and Dad rose and wandered down the corridor to have his shave and wash. He was a touch surprised that the water wasn't particularly hot, but carried on like the old soldier he is.
Returning to his berth he noticed that the clock that used to sit on the mantel piece at home had obviously been knocked in transit since it showed the time as being 1125...
It was only then that he realised that it was rather dark for 0630 in mid-July and checked his wrtistwatch...
Needless to say he slept fitfully after that since on that specific morning he was required to be up and ready by 0650.
I understand he slept very well last night
Today he's off to 'have a roll up' with the Bowls Team. They play home and away matches with civvy clubs around the country and beyond. Apparently they tend to come second in head to head matches, but have a thoroughly enjoyable time doing so. Dad's already got his name down for an away trip to Seaford Bowling Club in Eastbourne next week.
