A fine day except for a shower between 5 + 6. I had a good night’s rest but for slight cramp. Cycled to Hospital where I met Menzies1 + the McMillan girl who is a Dr at Greenock.2 There was a flower show in Victoria Hall and a cycle parade for Rugby Club. The procession passed here. There were a number of very pretty costumes + collecting boxes were going [?]. Mrs Mack3 came here to see them. There was a heavy shower as the procession passed here.

2 The Editor has searched the Medical Registers and cannot find a female doctor named McMillan or Macmillan in practice at Greenock in the 1920s.
