This being Auntie Alice's birthday we celebrated over here and Quint brought Aunty and Aunty Alice over for dinner and to spend the after noon. Quint & Frank went down town again after dinner as Frank wanted to telephone McEwen about a ram. I had to go over to Proper's to thrash about the middle of the after noon.
