Thursday September 7th We got a fairly good start this morning but only got out thirteen loads all day. I just chored around between loads. Tom Abbot was late coming for the cream this morning, he said he had been up at Charlie McQueens. He says it is a happy bunch Charlie has just got back from the {Fair?} and they have more whiskey than they have water. Charlie is full as a goose and Bruce is full they're all full, but the womans and Tom says if he'd stayed any longer he'd have been full. Frank has been over at Ben's all day. About six o'clock we had a great old rain next thing to a cloud burst we all got soaked to the skin, but were glad to see it. I went down town to-night and went up to see Marj. she and Glad. Law got back safely. I then went up to Huby's to see Quint all the soldiers came home to-night on a six day leave Quint and I went down to look at the dance The London Harpers were down but their train was late and there was a very small crowd I suppose owing to the wet night and the lateness of the season This was the last dance We didn't go in but saw Joe Thompson and Helen Dunkin outside and talked to them for quite awhile and then all four of us went up to the Rectory where Helen is all alone and were there till nearly one. It began to rain again about midnight and was raining when we left. I stayed all night at Aunty's. Friday September 8th I came home by the mill this morning as I left my umbrella up at Huby's last night and borrowed one from Helen Dunkin so returned hers and got ours and came home around the other way as it is just about as short from Huby's. I haven't done a tap all day. Aunty and Aunty Alice were over to dinner and all the after noon I had a nasty pain so just lay around on the sofa. Dad. went back with the big team and disked on the fall plowing and said it worked fine except for the grass. I went back about five o'clock and got the cows Zeitha came down to-night for a ride but I couldn't go with her but Frank went and they had a great time. It was a beautiful cool moonlight night. Zeitha stayed here all night. Frank worked all day for Ben. Cloudy and cool all day. Saturday September 9th Dad. has been disking all day but didn't quite get over
