December 29, 1978

Today the kids (us three) stayed in Sowton at home. We played around, rehearsed Ali Baba, romped, fought, 'claimed' property for fights, etc.
Later on we went out in the garden. We tossed, kicked, thumped, whacked, boxed, dribbled (in other words, manipulated or propelled) a football between the three of us. Then we climbed a tree or two.
For dinner there was goose.

I have no doubt that the goose was raised in the field that my grandfather rented to a farmer. In fact, I think the goose, and a Christmas turkey, was the rent.
