Made another stupid mistake this morning. I thought the 18.13 Selk – Waverley was to Selkirk. Eva1 kindly gave me breakfast at 7.30 + I went to the station to find the train was 9.15 8.20. This was the slow train + I might as well have waited till the 9.15 as I had to wait for it at Gala. Got home at 12. Misty morning but very pleasant. Got message to Mrs Woodger2, Lilliesleaf. Cycled there + back to a meeting of Subscribers to the St Andrew’s Ambulance at 4. Was in the chair. Executive Committee appointed. Vaccinated 11 insured persons + 14 others.
