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 ot sleep on the sdsofa for most of the after noon and read all evening. Enah was reading "Suden Jim" out loud at the same time, so I got it and "Mr. Briyling" a little mixed up. Another pair of lambs arrived about te atime to-night. One of these three year old ewes that has lost he rtag. It has since transpired that she was No. 5.
