after they came in. He had come down from Simcoe with Bill Barwell and had had tea at the Barwells. He & the rest of the family hadn't seen each other all day as Frank had been taking in all the side shows and had dinner on the fairground where the circus was while Dad & Enah had fallen in with Jim Waddle & his sisters and had gone to Miss Waddle's for dinner. It has been cloudy and rather cool but fine, it looked rainy for awhile.

Frank stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and went this after noon to Vittoria with Aunty Alice & Aunt Ida in Mr. Johnson's car. After Aunty went back about four o'clock Dad. & I drove out to the Shand's as Harvey Shand was past here yesterday and said they had a colt leaking at the navel which they would like Dad. to look at and I thought I ought to go and see Charlie who just got home from the West a couple of weeks ago. They don't seem to think he is much better. It began to rain before we got home but we didn't get wet. It rained quite a lot all the evening. To-night Frank and I tested the eggs in the little incubator. We only took twelve out of sixty seven.
