The same miserable weather with continuous drizzle + occasional rain. David’s car is going again. I would have cycled to Faldonside but it was wet so I had to wait till he returned from Bowhill and Broadmeadows at 11.30 when I went to Faldonside. The vision had partly returned in Jessie’s eye1. Spent the afternoon at ledger + finished posting March. Dav. was at Midgehope in afternoon. Helen + Nancy walked to Sunderland to see what I take to be a damson in flower.2
