Sunday August 1st

This morning Orm, Dick, Frank and I went for a swim before we had our breakfast and didn't get back until ten o'clock, we just lay around under the willow tree with the rest of the family till dinner time. After dinner we had a little music and then Billy, Kathleen, Orm, Dick Frank and I went down to the lake for a swim. The rest went to Port Ryersie and took Harry Ansley, he & Mr. Millman went up to interview H.P. Innes on Huby's behalf. They said they had a satisfactory consultation. Nita drove the car and Dad. went up with them. Dick and Orm separated from us when we got down town and Frank went to some nouk of his own to undress when we first got there, we couldn't get an empty bathing house, there was such a crowd in but at last one was vacant in the men's section and we all three used it Kathleen undressed first and then Billy and I. Orm came down after awhile with Mildred Henry and used it too but managed to get another one for Mildred. Percy & his wife were down there and we were in a long time as the water was fine. We went up to Huby's to tea where Mr. & Mrs. Millman, Nita and Enah joined us. Dick and Frank went to Dyer's and home respectively. We sat around down at Huby's most of the evening. Some of them went out to the Ansley's and Tibbits for awhile. it has been hot and sunny all day.

They went down to the lake this morning and didnt get back till about one when the were supposed to have started but they all got off soon after dinner. We went out after tea to-night to run the binder in the barn and were about an hour at it. It was half past ten when we got back to the house. It has been a fine day to-day but looks black.
