Had not been long in bed when I was called out at 12.30 to see Mr Creighton1, Forest Road. Was rather late of rising. Cycled to to [sic] Forest Road, Glenlora2, Mavisbank, Faldonside (Phyllis3 the better for ice to her head pupils reading better) [and] Peelburnfoot. Helen4 + Ailie5 + I dined at Elmpark. Jack + Nancy6 there. Saw Mr Creighton again before dinner. D. [Graham] at Faldonside at night.
