Dry hard frost: roads splendid. Sharp N.E. wind. Cycled to Beechwood, Bowhill West Lodge + Scaurneuk1 + enjoyed it greatly. Got back about 1.30. Met Helen, Nancy + Mrs Andrew Linton2 in Market Place + the latter asked if she might take Helen up with her till Wednesday so I was left alone once more. A good many people in at night.
