Today was fine though dull till 1.30 when it rained pretty heavily. I did a round cycling + got back just as the rain was coming on. The garden is looking well, except that the blight is [illegible] on the strawberries. The roses are splendid + have benefited by being sprayed with soap suds. Yesterday I had the first dish of peas + also some cherries. Had meeting of Golf Club Commttee at night + arranged runs.1 [I did] 21 [house] visits.
1 Dr Muir has never mentioned golf in almost 10 years of diary transcription. Runs (if that is the correct reading) is more likely to be the cycling club but that’s a big difference from what Dr Muir has clearly written.
