but I did which wasn't very late abut three or half past, there were three or four other babies or very small children there and they all stayed till the last but all went to sleep. The bed was full of them after midnight. {Pete?} Furlong's baby which isn't ayear old was there and never said a word all night. Alan had a graphaphone there which I think belonged to Ethel Leany. Every body had a good time.

Thursday April 6th

I didn't get up very early this morning and just did chores all morning. I went to sleep again after dinner on the sofa and was awakened by Dick and Dess coming in. They were here for about an hour and we went out and saw the sheep, they couldnt stay to tea as Dess had to go to work at six o'clock. While I was asleep another pair of lambs arrived from the wooly faced yearling I think No. 2. Dad spends most of his time with them. Bobbie presented us with a fine big red heifer calf to-night. It is the second heifer she has had, last year's being the first. It snowed this morning and has been cloudy windy and much colder all day.
