- March 29 Friday Eyes still sore from creosote. Let Sebastian-of-the-pines do paint the other arbour which was finished yesterday except mason-work. Gelat came & tied up vines on upper arbour. Promised us 8O kilos of grapes next year from lower one. Signed and sent off contract. Wrote to A.G. Wrote to Eliot(E). Gelat undertook to find house for Isabel's mother. Went [for] a walk to see road repairs: up to bad turning and back by big pines. Mason came: did not finish. In afternoon went with Gelat (Laura & I), Salamo & donkey to see Es Piñets and the Roca de sa Rosa, above Molí: which Gelat has been able to buy for 6000 pts left after selling Molí land at price stipulated, needing only 6000 [pts] to buy. Worth double. He hasn't the money so we will fund buy it. Visited the new deposito being built at Can Medo Madó . At the Molí took cutting of a white-flowering shrub. Pension came. Took homeopathic creosote: which helped eyes: at any rate they got better. Laura went over my Focus . Another fire-dream. This time I was a subordinate at a futile task by stupid superiors. I was in the front compartment of a train going 70 miles an hour. The fire was in the rear coaches but the authorities wouldn't stop the train.
