Frank and I went down to Sunday school this morning but as Mr. Johnson has the measles there was no church so Marjorie and I went for a walk up the beach.It was a lovely morning cloudy and foggy after the rain but very mild and spring like. Aunty and Frank went to the Presbyterian church. As Aunty was coming over to dinner I went down to the house and waited for her till church was out. It began to rain before she came and has kept it up steadily all the after noon and evening, but Aunty came over and went down just before tea. I went to sleep on the sofa for most of the after noon and read all evening. Enah was reading "Sudden Jim" out loud at the same time, so I got it and "Mr. Britling" a little mixed up. Another pair of lambs arrived about tea time to-night. One of the three year old ewes that has lost her tag. It has since transpired that she was No. 5.
