He also marked fat wethers (Waikanae hoggarts [sic]) + got 118, price 19/-. Showers of rain.

up alone. He did not approve of our cut line - too far over hilltop - we will have to keep to a crooked line running along the crest of the ridge. Rode down to see Dr. Young about pains in upper part of stomach - nothing serious, probably indigestion - got medicine for same. We drafted the remaining shorn lambs (of home lots) into :- 102 rape lambs; 98 store lambs + 30 cull lambs for next Friday's sale. Read "Rosalind O'hara" by Joseph Hocking.
