A Partial Eclipse of the Sun

A rather dull morning caused by a partial eclipse of the sun, but a lovely afternoon and evening. i got home by the 10 to six train. Went straight on from the station to the Chapel to the tea. After tea I came home and did a bit of garden. Then at 7.30 went down to the service heard a splendid on blowing the trumpet by Mr Grange of Regent Park Chapel. the service was over rather early, came home and did a bit of needlework.

Fine all day. Home at half past seven, brought home some work with me though I have such a bad headache. I hardly knew how to do itbut the work is so heavy that I cannot keep up with it without either staying on or bringing it home with me and if I bring it home I can keep Mother company.
