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.

Saturday 19

A dandy spring day. Dan and I split wood on the wood pile between the chore {word off left side of page, times?}. Did the chores up early and were {word incomplete, all?} through by six o'clock. Wrote a letter after supper to send to Pauline along with Jeans {word off left side of page, Pat?} and slept and listened {corrected from listed? }to phonograph while I was waiting for the cattle to come in.
