Very keen frost: sunny calm day. No fog but there was a frost haze all day. Letter from Dora1 telling of a possible post in India under Ernest Muir2. Also saying how she had introduced her old [?] friend to the Webbs3 as her aunt + how one of them said afterwards that she was so like her aunt she would have known she was a relation! Cycled to Oakwood. Had a cigarette at Scaurhead, overlooking the Cauld which was frozen. Curling going on. Motors raising dust.
