5th August 1943. 

A fine day, but glass low & did not recover from previous day's depression till late afternoon:  day spoiled by heavy shower just after I arrived at Lucan which left everything wet & dripping & nearly completely spoiled collecting, although by staying there till 6.30 P.M. I did get doing some.

In afternoon rode (alone) to Lucan, arriving about 2.30, shower 2.45 till 3.30, then fine. 
Swept in 3 areas after shower & in one before it came on, as below.
