A miserable day with blasts of rain + sleet from N.E. + intervals of bright sunshine. I had a town list of 4 + nothing else! having worked up on the idea of a cycle run with Nancy + the children1: but first of all came a message to Mich. Glendinning2 whom I found nearing the end: then when I got back I found a message to see Geordo3 at Kirklea + after that a message to Fauldshope4. I had them all done by 1 p.m. + was the rest of the day in the house. Pollok5 called + told me all about his delightful trip.
