A fairly good day with heavy showers in afternoon + lovely bright evening, warmer. Dav.1 did a circum[cision] on Willie Welsh2 under local anaesthesia. The prepuce were adherent all round. I cycled down to Hospital, Spionkop3 before + then with Nancy4 walked to Henhouse + Kirklea5 going over by Brown and Headshaw Moor6. The Ogilvies were out + we came back by Greenhill7 + had high tea together here.
