Thursday February 11th Marj. has had to stay in bed all day to-day so I have had to be in the house. I pulled the couch around near the stove and Marj. has been lying on it all day and she slept on it to-night. Harry Blake was in this morning on his annual assessing business. To-night just before tea I went up to Shand's and telephoned Huby and asked him to let them know at Auntys that we wouldn't be down for dinner to-morrow, as they were expecting us Froze the pump in the kitchen again last night. Sunny. Friday February 12th I chored around outside & in the house this forenoon. Marj. lay on the couch till after dinner and then got up. She feels very weak though. This after noon Gay and I drove down town and I went to the dentist's again and he changed the filling in the teeth he is treating. I left Gay at Auntie's and she & Harry B. had a great play together and were delighted to see each other. Harry B was quite willing to stay down longer though, so I left him as it is much easier for Marj. when he is not here. Aunty Alice gave me a fine roast of beef as we were not able to get down to dinner. We drove around to see Dad. who still feels tough. Sunny & much milder. Saturday February 13th Marj. got up this morning and got breakfast and has been pretty busy all day trying to clean up the house after the state I let it get in. I went over home right after breakfast and Frank and I put on a load of straw and brought it out here. Dad. helped us change the rack and says he feels a little better but is not well yet by any means. We got out here with the straw before dinner and unloaded it part of it out on the strawberries and the rest in the barn. After dinner we went out and got the pile of hay that we had to pitch off in the lane the other day, and put it in the barn. We then went back home and tried to get some corn stalks but they were frozen in so tightly that we only took a few sheaves from one shock. When we got up to the house we found Cecil there alone. Dad. & Enah had driven down town. Cecil had drawn off some cider from the centre of the barrel as it is frozen and we all had some together with some more of his & Frank's home brew consequently I came home joyful again. My legs would hardly hold me when I got home and I didn't dare come to the house to stay so went out and spread the straw on the strawberries, and by the time I got that done and the chores done, I felt safer but was no good after tea.
