The boys and I have been working away in the big field to day. I have been sowing oats until the field is about two thirds sown & mostly harrowed in. It is also partly ditched. I went fishing with the boys to night but did not make a very big haul. Only got ten altogather. {To?} concluded not to try it again for a while. The weather continues to be quite cool and is becomeing dry not a very unfavourable state of things for reading at any rate.
