Sunshine frost + snow! + infernally cold. What a Spring! Wallace1 left at 10.29. Have enjoyed his visit. It seems he knows Sandie McClure2 very well. Motored Raeburn Place, Forest Mill, Oakwoodmill + Peelburnfoot. Then walked to Backrow + Mavisbank + gave Mrs Waters3 her last dose of vaccine. Mrs Massie4 was confined at Viewfield. I was not in time for the birth but had to remove the placenta. Helen5 was at Viewfield for supper.
