184./ 21st Oct. 1937. - labelled by mistake "20.10.37"! A.W.S. 22/11/39. Left Tullaghan at 9.30 A.M., a beautiful still morning after a dewy night & no sign of rain, through queer looking, with barometer falling & having fallen for three days: just a faint westerly breeze, but not a ripple on any of the loughs will midday. Passed under clouds at Collooney & & as we approached Newtown Forbes the drip began which gradually increased to drizzle & essentially thick misty rain, from Longford, all the way to Dublin, where foggy also. After Collooney the wind E. or N.E. & very light; much colder than on W. coast. Stopped for lunch at E. end of Rockingham estate, Co. Roscommon, & did a little sweeping under trees in angle of roads from Boyle to Cootehall & Carrick-on-Shannon. Stopped for tea between Mullingar & Kinnegad but of course did not collect owing to rain. Arrived home 4.30 P.M. to find that it had rained in Dublin since middle of previous day. 185./ 21.10.37 cont. 11.30 till 12.0 noon - All labelled by mistake 20.10.37 Under trees E. of road, at E. end of Rockingham estate, Co.
