…In the afternoon Mr Thornton and I walked up to weigh Mr Reeve’s hops, but he was not home. We went from thence to George Cornwell’s, where Mr Thornton weighed his hops and I attempted to buy them, but in vain. We Stayed and drank tea here, from whence we walked to Thomas Starr’s, where Mr Thornton weighed his hops and I again attempted to buy them, but in vain. We called at Mr Reeve’s as we came home, and the old man would not weigh them, pretending it was too late.
Came home about 6:30, where I found my brother, who came over in my absence, and stayed with me till near 8 o’clock… I paid Halland gardener 10d for 2 gallons onions and one of potatoes received by him today. Pretty busy all day.
