Friday August 16th

We got the back field cleared by to-night instead of last night as we had hoped. Our delay to-day was caused by me upsetting a load on the gully hill just coming out of the gate. my off wheel got in the rut and before I knew what was coming off I was on the ground and the waggon on its side. We took Frank's load up and unloaded it then came back with Jack' s rack (it was our rack that upset) and put part of my load on it and Frank got a reach from Tupper as ours was broken. we had a hard job getting it put in but managed to at last and then put the rest of the load in our rack. but had to load carefully as one arm of the rack was broken. After we got the loads off we had to put an old hinge {iron?} on the broken arm and Frank had to go to town after some bolts It all took time and by the time we got two more loads up (the last two) it was after seven, we put the load off of Jack's rack and Frank took it home. Enah's sister Mrs. Johnson was over here to tea and Uncle Ward came over to get Dad. to offer a special prize at the Horti cultural Show so he did for honey. Frank drove them home, or at least Dad. drove Uncle Ward home after Frank got back from taking Mrs. Johnson.
