A powdering of snow on the ground + some fine snow falling. Bright during the day but the snow never melted in shade. Some showers of snow in afternoon. Bitterly cold again N.E. Motored to Peelburnfoot, Faldonside Stables + Upper F. to see Katie1 the maid who has had a lot of varicose veins removed by Pussy Stewart2. Was in house all afternoon reading up the Hospital question.
1 Katie has not been identified though it may be possible to do so when the 1921 Census is published later this year
2 Pussy Stewart, a medical practitioner of some sort, perhaps with connections to Caddonfoot, has been very difficult to pin down because Dr Muir has used what must be his nickname
