We set a turkey yesterday on 15 eggs
and this pm Sr said the turkey
is off her nest.

Sunday 27 April 1902
Voltie came home at 10 am popped
in unexpectedly; he walked up from foot
having left his boat in Will Gillespies
boat house. T Chot came in with V.
Grandpa just came in from "Over there"
where he has been as usual to chop
wood. He and Tommy dont speak.
I dont feel very well. I go to sleep
while writing and make long black marks
on the page. Maud went up to help Shell
sweep the Church before service and after
dinner, and the dishes are washed, goes to
church. Tom after shaving and fixing himself
up very fine, plastering his hair down
to make it lay smooth and twisting and
turning around to see how he looks
behind, goes to church to get a ride
up with Mr Wheatley our preacher.
