Sunday January 9th

Enah and I walked down to church this morning and I have been down all day I had dinner and tea at Aunty's Miss Phipps was there to dinner. I spent the after noon & evening up at the Bagley's, before tea I got Cousin Loll & Cousin Phoebe to go over to the Ansley's with me as they had the key to the house and get a Wandering Jew plant which Cousin Bessy left there to freeze unless Aunty took pity on in so I took it down to her. The Ansley's all left for Toronto yesterday. They expect Joe Syer's battery to be moved to France next month. Aunty Alice and I went to church to-night. We thought Dad. would have been down but I found out that he had had to go up to Bill Duncan's to see a sick horse. Dick and Frank have both been in the house all day to-day so Dick must be pretty bad. There were quite a few skating this after noon but I didn't go. It is getting milder to-night.

Monday January 10th

It rained during the night and has rained a lot during the day but is colder to-night. I went over to Quanbury's to see Charlie this morning, he is better and sitting up but has had a bad time with his throat.On my way home I stopped in and got a setting of eggs from Jack Martin as one of the old red hens has been sitting for quite awhile and Dad. was very anxious to put some eggs under I thought it would be too early to have them come out. Dad & I didn't do much but chores this after noon Aunty came over before tea to stay all night as Dad. Enah and I went down to A.Y.P.A. and the boys have been in the house all day. Dick was bound he was going to work yesterday but when this morning came he wasn't at all anxious to go Glad. Law and Marj. Clarke had a Dicken's evening at A.Y.P.A. to-night and Dad. & Enah sang "What are the Wild Waves Saying" Cousin Willie, Jack Martin and Aunty Maude also took part but there were very few there. Dad. had to be chairman.
