No kiss.

Fine autumnal morning – Rather hazy and F 56 1/2° now at 8 25/.. a.m., at which hour went out –

2 of Mawson’s men and Robert Schofield and Joseph Sharpe had taken up the flagged floor in George’s room and were lowering the stuff – There was an old pavement under the flags – took this up, and lowered the clay underneath – Had Booth the mason ordering about it, and had Mr. Husband in the new farmyard –

Breakfast at 9 1/4 – ‘Matthew Ingham, millwright of Thornton Newroad, Hoop foundry, Bradford’ called about the Engine pit water wheel – Did not see him – Told him to send in his address and I would remember it –

Some time with my father and Marian – and with Ann till near 11 – then out again –

Sent John Booth with my own light cart and greyhorse to Halifax for Engine ashes for George’s room – Brought 3 or 4 loads during the day –

Some time with Mark Hepworth levelling the Northgate stuff at the Cascade bridge (South side) –

Then had Holt, and went with him and Joseph and Robert Mann and staked out the Listervic (so I have this afternoon thought to call it) Engine pit tail-goit – We then went to the mouth of the Spiggs loose drain – Very little water issuing – All right – Found the water much risen in the old Godley pit – the water just 6 feet from the top of the pit (about 12 at noon)

Then about home in the new farmyard and George’s room –

Ann off to Cliff hill about 2 1/2 p.m. – 

Robert and Joseph had been cutting sticks for fuel from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., then set them to raise the Cascade bridge embankment wall (upper end, South side) – Mark Hepworth levelling Northgate stuff there, and Mann’s 2 drift drivers came to right the run to begin the drift again (Stopped during and since the last and 2nd Spiggs Loose stopping business) at 5 a.m. tomorrow to work day and night to get all the stuff out we can do with on this side the Cascade bridge, up to the first entrance gates –

At 5 went to Mytholm house – Carter there putting up temporary glass windows in the is-to-be apple-room and putting lock on to the door –

Rain from about 4 1/2 with little intermission till after 6 –

Had Mr. Husband again – Think to take part of the farmyard gate buttress down again – ill done –

Dinner at 6 1/2 – Some time with my father and Marian – Coffee – Ann and I sat talking till 9 1/4 – from then to 10 with my aunt, then till 11 wrote all the above of today, and making memoranda of the work going on –

Fine day till about 4 1/2 p.m. then and afterwards rain and wet evening – F 61 3/4 now at 11 5/.. p.m.
