Wednesday, 1st…Great
holiday! I didn’t go to Fox’s Harbour due to the weather. Had a good game of
cards with Tim at the Nursing Station with other entertainments. I put a new
throttle cable on the old cruiser. Great!
2nd…It’s now 10.45 a.m. and I’m
lying in bed looking out towards the School in Mary’s Harbour. I’ll fill in on
the details of the past few days:
I went to White Point with Dan Campbell, Nurse Jean Skelly, Chris
Haynes, Tim Acey, Pete Manson and Sue Munro. We arrived in White Point at about
two o’clock and we all had a good look round whilst the Nurse, Dentist and Sue
went about their work. It’s a Government Weather Station situated on an island
which makes it like a prison for the 12 workers based there. I played a few
games of snooker with Ed O’Brien and Grade 4 Kirby Ross Bradley. Kirby doesn’t
have a teacher except for his sister who has a Grade XI. From White Point we
went to The Lodge where Chris is the V.S.O. We all had supper at Frank Pye’s. After supper we came back to Mary’s Harbour. My
cruiser doesn’t have a light but I managed O.K. by driving in the light between
the other two skidoos. Yesterday was uneventful except that I didn’t go to Fox harbour. I didn’t mind that one little bit with great
attractions elsewhere.
Friday 3rd…Last night I went over to Lodge Bay for “The Tyme”. We reached there at about 10.00 p.m. and I didn’t lay my weary head down to rest until 5.00 a.m. this morning. I was up at 7.30 a.m. taking Tim
into Mary’s Harbour to collect his bag from Rev Lewis’s. I also took him back
to reach The Lodge by 9. 30 a.m. only to find that he’d been left behind by the
Henley Harbour crowd! He’s got to get down by Monday. I’ve also got to get back
to PHS by Monday. It’s snowing heavily now and the fine weather has come to an
end. Just as I was leaving Lodge Bay to come back
