22nd Aug. 1943.

A very windy day (SW-W) with showers at 11.30, 2.30, 3.30 &c. the last making everything so wet that I had to give up collecting except under lee of tall hedge.

After tiding to Clontarf to see R.S. Bognall & J. Litster & spending an hour with them, leaving account of their visit to Kerry, rode (leaving Clontarf at 10.45) to Louisa Bridge on Royal Canal, Co. KD. (arriving there 12.16, i.e. 1 hour 31 minutes after leaving 31 Copeland Avenue - against wind most of the way!), where joined Daisy & George (home on leave from England) who had gone by 10 AM bus to Carton & walked back along canal.
