Sharp dry day. The river was a fuller [sic] today as there must have been heavy rain in the hills. It was pretty sunny all day. Motored first to Bleachfield Road +c, Oakwood, Howford Cottage + Beechwood, Bridge Street. Then to Whitmuir + Lilliesleaf + finally to Peelburnfoot. David1 came over to stay till Monday.
