It began to rain about six this morning and has been a wet miserable day. I drove Dick down to the bank and saw Dave. he said he and Val leany would be right over if we could work in the dry so we rigged up a place in the old barn and so before two o'clock the four pigs were all dressed. We then had dinner but they wouldn't take anything for pay. Just chores then.

Thursday December 16th

We did chores all morning, my thumb was still stiff so I didnt do much. This after noon I took a grist to the mill and went on down to get my lumber but they hadn't it ready yet, I stopped in at Aunty's for a few minutes, and got my chop when I got home. To-night I went to the show with Marj. To-night Aunty Alice had a bridge party, Toby Smith and Miss Buckwell and I stopped in there on my way home and got some cake Very mild but cloudy. Booze Waddle was over saying his father would come to morrow to kill pigs
