Thursday, February 8 Joly did not rise very early this morning as he was very tired. He did not do much but rest until about four o'clock. He then drove downtown. It snowed pretty much all day but was not cold. Harry and Frank drove down after tea and brought County Ida there and Alice over, also Mr. Sovereign. The Shand family with Miss Free arrived later, and we spent the evening in music. Mr. Shand brought his violin, and Charlie his mouth organ and something called the "Octo-" (I forget what he called it, but it made sweet music all the same). It was about 1:30 a.m. when they left. Friday, February 9 It happened that when we got up this morning, none of us had gone to bed before three o'clock, so we did not have breakfast until eleven o'clock. The boys went to Mr. Couteloso’s and got a load of gravel. Later, they both came downtown for a dance in the town hall. It has been very cold all day today. Marjorie Black has the measles.
