It has been blowing a North West wind good and strong all day. We did not got any thing done at all to-day. Sam and Alan Law and young Philip were here all day working with their engine as something has gone bust on it. The boiler was leaking. We were going to take the wagon down and get our potatoes from Bob Law. but he did not like to leave the men there with the engine for fear of fire. I fooled around in the house most of the morning. This after noon I cut some wood and went down town with Enah. I got my cheque from Ottawa at the Post Office and deposited it in the Crown. I have it all in there now and have $98.98. Then I got my hair cut and went down to wait at Huby's for Enah who was at Auxillary. I waited with Nig. till Quint and Frank came and fooled around and at last went home with Dick who came soon after and left Frank to wait for Enah. Bill Oaks was over this morning and got booked for a job whenever he was wanted and also some money {Margin note} from Dad as he says he has a chance to buy a home and wants to make a first payment. Aunty hasn't come home yet and says she won't be back till Thursday.
