Frost gone + thaw set in but swiftly with rise of temperature. No wind at all: sunless. D [Dr David Graham] + I saw Agnes Thomson, Hill Street, + decided she should be operated on for appendicitis. Message to Bob Currie1. Walked via Bridge Street to Yair + Fairnilee Cottages returning via Hospital. Got back a little after 3. Roads getting soft but still fair going. Had Kelty with me.
