Thursday 8 October 96
Slept out bed at 7 am,
a cold cloudy dark morning been
raining all night. I drove to dock
with Grace and Harry. Maud at
home. Eveline and Will Dixon gone
to Kingston. Eveline carried her carpet
rags to the city to have her carpet woven.
Maud works well all day. Wellie came
up after breakfast. Muriel and Hubert
are with him. Voltie and Wellie go to Geo Gillespies
to thresh. Wellie came back
and the children go home with him.
V goes with Jesse Reid to help him run
his nets and load the fish in to the waggon
and draw them here. Jesse helps
draw manure and milk the cows. Eddy Bates
ate supper with us and then they
go to the dock for Grace.
