Prepared for painting ships side before breakfast. Went to breakfast at 7 o’clock. Painted ships side in forenoon, all light colour. Frequent showers during process. 2nd past Starboard should have landed in afternoon but started raining as soon as we got in “Saxon” and so landing parties belayed. Scrubbed out hammock nettings on fore mess deck. Told off for Starboard after aerial guns crew. (Sightsetter).
