A nice day for a change with sunshine. Hoeing on the herbaceous border. Lots of groundsel. Jane at home today again. Farmers busy combining. Bert did electric fire. Did all the toilets.

Strong wind still with very heavy showers. Tidying up round the bins and brushed leaves off the drive. Jane came to stay with us for a couple of days. Peter came last night.

The wind still very strong but managed to keep fine. Started to hoe border under low wall round lawn. Edged it off first. Did all the toilets again. No cars today.

Got up at 9.30a.m. Still a strong wind. Did the mowing and cleaned the rose bed. Ron, Dot and Jane came for tea. Ron beginning a four week course tonight on public (something I can’t read – very curious).

A dull cloudy day with high winds. Got up at 10a.m. Next door went on holiday to Anglesey. Dot, Ron and Jane came. Ron went to football.* Went to P in the p.m. Did mowing, some weeding.

(First Division match at Ewood Park, Blackburn v Liverpool, 1-2; Liverpool goal scorers, Ronnie Moran and Ian Callagahan.)

A bitter day today. One or two slight showers. Car washing again. H.Mc. making 145 to date. Half a weeks bonus today. Very welcome. Did all the toilets. Burnt a lot of stuff.

Another day of showers. Some sunshine later in the day. Hoed borders around the vet lab and squares under fruit trees. Cleaned sump in the incin. out. Did all the toilets.

Rain for most of the day again and strong winds. Cleared the copper on burners and scrubbed the lino and passage way. Did the toilets. Jim here cleaning lights.

Rain at first but fine later with some sun. Rather a cool wind. Cleaned beds in front of main labs and started on the borders round the lab. Did all the toilets out.

A showery day and a bit on the cold side. Got a flat tyre this morning. Used Nell’s bike. Did a bit of tidying up. No cars today. Cleaned the copper in the boiler room.
