Monday Mch. 14th.
Dorothy's birthday - 22 years old to-day. Cool, dull looking day. Raining in the afternoon. Was at the office for awhile & at Miss Milne's. Took over some arrowroot for Mrs. Hooper at tea time.
Tuesday Mch. 15th.
Raining very hard in the afternoon but beautiful spring morning. Went down at 10 a.m. to bank with s.s. collection and to send for supplies. Went to office and wrote a couple of letters and did the entries. Went down to Charlie's Store in the afternoon (pouring rain) to give news in Adelaide's letter. When I got home found Mr. Bruegeman had forgotten the bread so went for it. Then walked up and down the verandah until Julius came home for tea. Had a beastly pain in my shoulder which got quite bad at tea time. Thunder storm in the evening. Snow drops just beginning to come up.
Wednesday Mch. 16th.
Shoulder kept me awake all night. Dr. Rannie came up in the Morning.
