I didn't do much but hang around waiting for Pickford as we expected him over to get one of the yearling rams to kill. He didn't come however. As there was no wind to pump to-day we had to carry all the water for the stock and so we spent most of the after noon doing chores. Frank drove down town to get a lot of Christmas groceries and a box to send Elva one of the pups in. I went down town to-night to see if Marj. intended going home to-morrow. I didn't see her but found that school started again to-day so she won't be able to go till Saturday. School has been closed since Monday as some grater in the furnace had to be replaced and they just came yesterday.
