A very strong N.W. gale raged all night + most of the day but eased towards evening. David1 returned from Ed. [Edinburgh] at midday. I saw a few cases walking + cycled twice to Hospital for Matron who got her face badly scalded. Helen2 + Winifred3 went with the Elmpark4 party motoring to the meet at Haining Gate5 + went round by Lilliesleaf. In the afternoon Winnie went for a walk on the hill with Keltie6.
