It was pretty warm all day but a cool breeze.  |

down to Hammond's bush to see old Ad. Frolick's log cabin, he got some of them down at Huby's too. When they came back Orm. Frank, Kathleen, Tiddums & I went for a ride down town and up to see Globe Park. They thought it had changed a lot since they used to summer there. We took Aunty down to stay at Mrs Leslie Battersby's to tea. After tea we took Cousin Clare home as she had been down here all the after noon - got Aunty and went up to Cousin Loll's for awhile came home again, then Orm took Frank and me down to Huby's so the car had a busy day of it. Dick was down town all the after noon. It has been very hot all day.
