Michael and Isobel and I went to church at 8. I unfortunately fell in the road on the way home and bashed my knee and sprained my foot and broke my glasses. Hobbled home with the children’s help and after breakfast came to bed.

Isobel came home for the weekend arriving at 7 p.m. I took my first walk and went up to the Nursing Association Annual meeting. Kate and Bel walked up with me and it was rather fun. Mrs. Ward came to make trouble and one or two others were a bit mucky, but we scotched them all very well. I was jolly glad I had gone. Kate and Michael came to meet me and helped me home.

Pop came home soon after 11. Dr. Goulden paid me a final visit and gave me a prescription for rheumatics – something fresh to try.
