We went and saw the kid and Lyn gave it a bundle of greenstuff. We sat down and watched the kid in the shade and then walked back. It is a lovely evening. We cleared away. Mrs Seaton gave me a tomato. We put Lyn to bed and I read to her then we went down to the corn fields with the gun. We saw pigeons but they kept out of the way. We sat in the hedge and walked back about 8.45. I cleaned the gun and sat in the chair. Had supper and back to camp.
