  • 1788: December 18, 1788 – Most of the wells  in the street are dry! Among the rest my own is so shallow as not to admit the bucket to dip!  Moved some apples & pears into the kitchen-closet.  The horse-roads are dusty.
  • 1785: December 18, 1785 – Sweet weather.
  • 1783: December 18, 1783 – Hares make sad havock in the garden: they eat-up all the pinks; & now devour the winter cabbage-plants, the spinage, the parsley, the celeri, &c.  As yet they do not touch the lettuces.
  • 1774: December 18, 1774 – Rooks resort to their nest-trees.
  • 1772: December 18, 1772 – Thrush whistles.
  • 1769: December 18, 1769 – Roses bud in hothouses; french beans thrive: Ananas carry some late fruit.
