It was fine today + clear + sunny up till 4 when it rained. Coldish W. wind. Met David [David Graham, co-partner] at Clark1 the dentists + gave him (D.) gas to have 2 teeth removed extracted. His gestures gestures when coming out were most ridiculous! Cycled to Faldonside after making 9 town visits. Got back at 2. Climbed the hill above the saw mill on Faldonside + enjoyed the view. Helen [Muir] had lunch + tea at Elmpark2 + went to the Picture House with Mrs Mc. after. That kind lady sent me a lot of the late Mac’s socks3: a bunch of paper + some pears.
