Monday 3rd August 1908
Wind North and cool. Sun not shining
out so brightly as usual. Bob turning grindstone
for Voltie to grind binder knives. V going to bind to
day for Frank Woodman. I dont get much
time to write in diary or answer corespondense.
Bob and Reginald gone fishing. Grace helped push
the boat off shore which she ought not to do.
Now she is working in chamber. Wells Sr
got a turn of colic took peppermint and
"Fowlers Extract of Wild Strawberry" and he went to
bed and ate no dinner. Bob and
Reginald gone all day, ate dinner with
Geo Niles family. Then with Geo and Louise
and wee Howard. They all went to John Niles
to tea and so around home. Sinders
have got a boarder (2 of them) a man
and his little daughter.
