Frank and George went for a walk over Brant Hill this morning and I went to Sunday school but was very late as I cut my chin while shaving and couldn't stop the flow of gore for some time. When I got there {Name?} Ryerse was marking the book as Miss Martin didn't show up and I had to step lively to get the books dished out. I went to church and found George & Frank there. We three went to Aunty's for dinner. This after noon Marj. and I went up to Miss Martin's with the money we cleaned up at Sunday school and found her looking very tired and her father sick in bed. We didn't stay long as the Best's came up, but we spent the remainder of the after noon at Miss McQueen's. I came home to tea and to do chores and went down again after tea and spent the evening at the Monteith's. George & Frank went up to Huby's and to see Ada this after noon. Mrs Hobbes invited them there to tea with Ada. but Frank came home to do chores George went and after tea he and Ada went up to Waterford with Mr. & Mrs. Robertson from Toronto in their car.

Karl. Coleman came over this morning and got the steer I went down with him and saw him weighed. He just came to 960. Dad. was very disappointed as he was expecting him to go at least 1000 but Karl told me to-night after he killed him that he had no fat inside at all. Frank & George sheared sheep while I was gone and I helped them the rest of the day. We got eight done and only have two more to do now. Old Broadley & Jason were here to dinner, the first trip of the season and old Broadley sheared one sheep for us after dinner. Frank Ryerse was in just after tea to-night to see Dad. about a horse that has the colic. I rode down town with him to band practise. Frank and George went to the picture show. Cloudy & cool this morning but cleared off.
