May 26, 1913

Got up and got breakfast and did

housework all morning while Mena washed.

Called at Mrs. Abbots in the after-

noon. It was her day at home and

we met quite a few people we knew.

Went into town later on and did

some shopping. Walked home in a

shower of rain but enjoyed it. Talked

to Mrs. Piesse a while. Annie read aloud

in evening. ("NAPOLEON:The Last Phase")

At eight o'clock Jim and I went for a
three mile walk. Its lovely and fine but
rather damp and cool.*

* Remembering Tasmania is in the Southern Hemisphere, average May high temperature would be around 58 degrees F; low would be around 44 degrees F.  May 26 would be a fall day...
