A really fair day : pretty constant sunshine + just the right temperature. N.W. [wind] I had almost nothing to do but Dav.1 asked me to see Mrs Steven [sic], Bluecairn2 + I cycled there leaving at 12.47 + getting back at 2.10. Paid several accounts. A girl Yule 3 staying with the Robertson4 at Lindean Herd House called with an abscess on her cheek which I opened. Guy5 walked to Greenhead Hill above the targets6 . I did my packing for the Glasgow trip. Letters from Jean + Dora7.
