Very dry today, but cold and chilly. It is a Garo Day of Harvest celebration and all colleges, schools and government offices are closed. Normally Providence would also be closed today but all the children came in for normal classes. Some of the trades were curtailed - Liam"s savoury cooking that is normally sold to the St Edmund boys at morning break had no customers. Cormac worked as usual being taught how to make paper. It looks nice. Sam is dealing with the decorations on Christmas cards upstairs with Johnny. Pat already has produced a number of decorative candles downstairs. Niall's bag-making is a slow tedious operation even for the skilled instructors but he is making progress. Neil is now on his second bag in the rexene department.Today, Danny was busy mixing in the confectionery department in order to present the Magic Moments at morning break.
After classes finished an impromptu football match developed in the Providence field. Some skillful players on view.
