- March 12. Tuesday. Snow on mountains. Isabel not well. Got Carmen to come & help. Cooked lunch myself. And for Rosa who came. Gelat came with Anita's father from Valldemossa to graft pears & apples. They did some & then it came on to rain so violently that they went away. Rosa tried on new sofa cushion. Did revision of 19 pp of Chapter 5 of Antigua and made out a date-list. Wired and hung up cock-bowl in spare room. It rained all day. To bed early: asleep at 9 o'clock. When Sebastian & I planted the tamarisk, which has now begun to sprout, I cut off two shoots and stuck them in the ground. They are now sprouting too. Peach blossom, apricot blossom, and the wild peony that John & I fetched from the Teix in 1930 now in the grotto after trying various bad places is just about to flower.
