There was no fall of snow during the day + it was inclined to thaw but there was some slushy snow at night. Saw a few town cases + motored to Black Andro + walked to Fastheugh.1 It was pretty heavy going. Gave Hardie2 the postman who was walking a lift down on the back of the car. Went to a whist drive organised by the Cycle Club. There were 17 tables. It passed off very well + I presented the prizes. It was after 11 when I got home.
1 Dr Muir had previously attended Elizabeth Hutchison at Fastheugh, grid reference NGR NT392,289, at the west end of Black Andrew woods on the south side of the Yarrow Water.
2 Hardie the postman is so far unidentified.
