Raining this morning but faired by 8 o’clock after which it was a fine sunny day with N.W. wind. Calm + clear at night. Walked to S. Port + Heatherlie + Bank. Paid some M&G [Muir and Graham medical co-partnership] accounts + also G T Scott. The price of all alcoholics is almost prohibitive e.g. 9/- per dozen for lager beer. After tea cycled to Curror Street + Hospital whence I had to return to see George Smith who had scalded his arms with boiling tar: then I went to Low + High Faldonside. At latter met Mrs Ferguson one of the James sisters [?] who figure in the photo of cyclists at Penielheugh. Dora [Muir] came at 7.30 looking [?] rather than [?].
