till after three, the train was so late. When we did get out Frank & I went down and got some groceries and 20 bags of cement which we didn't pay for, but we thought we would soon need it if we got making posts and {Clare?} Deal said the next lot they got in would be dearer and he didn't know how soon they would be getting any more. About 18° below zero last night and very cold all day.
