- Dec 24 Tuesday. Getting house tidy. McCormacs McCormacks came: at Costa Brava: asked to rent Can Torrent – but wouldn't. Presents from Honor – box for Karl, knife for me, purse for Laura. Also brought plum pudding, & journey-cold-pheasant. Later Hodge came, 20, young, blonde, good head. We played the new records (Spanish) that I bought & the [Louis] Armstong one from Karl and James. Miguel brought John's picture framed with wood cut from knee-space. Warm & very windy. Karl finished typing T.E. I inserted insertions. Now ready for Laura. Letter from James about Honor dreading letters because of fear of us pressing her to come to Posada. Hodge very decent & sensible: said about Claudius had read it while ill – liked it, lot of work: I said: written it to make money – said “yes he thought it read like that” I liked that — first time I have heard it.
