6. Monday, January 8th I was up at 4:45 this morning, and the others were up soon after to give Loby an early start for Guelph. I walked down with him, and when he came back, he told us that Loby missed his train and went down to Qualies. It was most provoking! However, I went down at noon to visit a relative, who told me that Dole had taken the 9 o'clock train. Frank sent a little note (possibly "oak lelubo") in the morning. In the afternoon, we did some light chores. Vite and Arthur came over this afternoon, and Frank has gone skating tonight. It was a lovely day but a bit windy. Tuesday, January 9th Frank and I put up the partition in the old barn. Nothing of importance happened today. Tom didn’t care for the cream. Frank has gone down to get his hair cut tonight. It has been mild and cloudy all day, with a little snow this morning.
