Field day1. Cooked our dinners2 in the field. Out from shortly after 9 o’clock until after 4 o’clock. Good day and enjoyed it.


  1. “Field day”, now usually used metaphorically to describe a good day, is used here in its original, literal sense to mean a day spent in field activities. 

  2. “Dinners” means lunches.
