- Friday July 5th To Posada: bath getting on. Fogon being tiled, comedor being tiled, entrada being cleaned up, windows being glazed, cupboard fitted under sink & tiles there. Wall of mina rising and shutter-irons fixed. Ordered shelf for cupboard in honours Honor's room. Cor Went over Tom [Matthews]'s novel 50 pp. After lunch we made green pickle, using more ginger than last time: also curry powder, Sultanas, pimiento, & samphire, a lot of lemon peel scrapings. 4 1/2 jars, 3 bottles of juice. Very good results. Sent things in cart to Posada (bed, table, box, pail etc.) More Tom novel: then to Margarita with L (my gold shirt) to Posada again – carpenters: all work done by them. Tomorrow will move up. Son Bujosa wine: 40 centimos : good. Read more of Honor's novel. Letter from E.M. about cheque. From Maisie, about Nancy's probably moving from Sutton Veny. Laura extremely tired. Figs in creme-de-menthe & water. Geraniums of all colours mixed with yellow-green stone-crop look nice. Francisco has mended bench-arm – made book cupboard out of the box my manuscripts came in from England .
