Tuesday April 10th

I didnt get up till after seven this morning, and didn't do much all morning. Aunty was here for breakfast but went down right after. Uncle Ward walked over and was here for a good part of the morning, he wanted to know what time Colin McNeillige's sale started this after noon. Aubrey Betlings came over to dinner and this after noon he, Frank and I walked over to the sale and were there all the after noon, we didn't get anything I bid on the heavy set of harness but Jack King got it for 31 dollars. I got a ride home with Sam Law and the boys walked down the track. Frank went down town to-night but the rest of us went to bed early. It froze harder than ever last night but has not been quite so cold to-day but the wind was very raw. The paper to-day says the Canadians and British captured the Vimy ridge and gathered in about 6000 prisoners in a big offensive where they advanced two or three miles on a front of twelve miles.
