March Thursday 17 1927

Up at six and did the chores so that Dan and I were over to Pefkers ready to saw wood shortly after eight. Couldn't get the engine started until 9.30 so didn't finish until three. Sawed here for 2 1/2 hours {word off left side of page, incomplete; then???} but didn't get through. Jean and I had our first two meals apart since were married.

Friday 18

A wet morning. Jean went with me to post some letters and hold "Gyp" when we took the cream and a crate of eggs to the station. Finished sawing the wood at 11.15 then had dinner and drove to Gibson's sale at Drumbo. Mr Barker bought another cow for us and two steers, Dad also got two steers. They are to {word off left side of page, be???} shipped in Mr. Meggs {carload?} to-morrow.
