Shot a Jackdaw in spare bedroom which had come down the chimney
A delightful day sunny and mild. Wind slight E. + then S.E. Very little doing. Made 6 town calls + cycled to Linglie Cottages (Janet Dryden1), Fairnilea (Nest), Peelburnfoot + home via Sunderland Hall + Curror Street. Finished posting March [accounts] into ledger. Arranged some accounts – I find my outlay at Viewfield on counting what I dropped by the sale of War Stock amounts to £53-9-0. Helen2 went over again to Ovenscloss to the Girl Guides class. Letter from Guy3 to which I replied.
1 Janet Dryden is unidentified, though Janet Dryden aged 36 was at Curror Street, Selkirk, 1911 Census
2 Helen Frances ‘Mousey’ Muir (1880-1963), Dr Muir’s third daughter and sometime housekeeper
