Sunday Pete and I celebrated St. David’s Day at 3.00 p.m. this afternoon. We shared round all the goodies between Austin, the
two Penney boys, Harry, Charlie, Jim Penney, Mrs. Ward and ourselves.
This morning I cut boards from some of Jim Ward’s planks to put
Scott on. Claris Burden phoned up the nurse who said that Scott must lie still
on boards. She’ll be in the week. Perhaps tomorrow.
I’ve had the use of Scott’s skidoo today and I’ll haul a barrel of
water on it tomorrow morning before School if the weather is fine enough for
Rita to go washing. Great fun!
It’s now midnight and I’ve
just returned from Stephen and Sandra’s where I had a lunch. I went up on
skidoo of course. I only needed to haul the engine over twice before it
started. Stephen had a good bit to say about God and all that stuff. I find it
very interesting listening to other people’s views on religion out here. Pastor
Churchill lives on the generosity of “his flock”. Some of the people give him a
tithe of what they get. He seems to be one of the few affluent people around
here! The weather today was overcast with scattered snow showers. I’ve just had
my “bath” and off to bed to be ready refreshed for another day ahead! Huh! I
wonder if I’ll be feeling refreshed tomorrow morning getting the komatik
hooked- up behind the skidoo. I don’t think so.
2nd…It’s “Education Week” and we had an hour and three-quarters of an
assembly to mark it. A lot has happened today.
Scott’s Slipped Disc, A New “Water
and Wood Lugger” for
the House and Having Fun on the
Skidoo Before School this morning I hauled a barrel
of water for the house. It was great fun and I met Si Strugnall down at the water. Back
