Today was cloudy with gale force winds. Jane bought herself a new fleecey jacket, a wooly hat, and warm gloves. Ah well! It is reputedly the coldest winter on record here.

I accepted a lovely invitation to a croquet game with the Kelvin Grove Club champion, which I thoroughly enjoyed. She won, of course, but I by no means disgraced myself. It was the fastest lawn I have ever played on. Supposedly grass, it was more compacted earth, and was smooth as glass in many places. It was very difficult to judge distance, as the ball kept rolling and rolling. But I cannot help but enjoy any game of croquet. I wore five layers of warm clothing - count 'em - as the wind whistled and whirled around.
