Wed.
Dec 1
Waz up at six and had tea & toast
in my room, later a bath and
breakfast. Put some driins out
in the sun and then went up
on the hill opposite to collect a
fern which I had burned in the
fire. Got into an awful jungle
and was awfully tired when
I got back. Put the plough in
faren and changed driirs all
the rest of the forenoon.
Had some fairly good rain,
and made progress in getting
things in shape.
Went up to the P.O and thus
met one of my fellow passen-
gers on the Ring Bals who in-
vited me out to dinner but I
had to decline.
Had a sprinkle early in the
P.M. Went to Darby and Co and
bought my tickets to Sandlater;
found that my boat is to be a
little late. Took it easy in the
P.M. and read "Catherine's Child" by
Mrs Henry de la Parture. I was
rather tired and went to bed at 10.
