- Oct 2 Wednesday. Gas drum changed. Incorporated Old Soldier Sahib corrections. Gelat came, & talked for 2 hours about things — removal of olive trees, Valldemossa electric scheme (but not until everything is settled about hours of water), the Sala café & the importance of keeping it under our control. Alice brought her many 3 of her four kittens to Canellun (drain-pipe). Pepe came & Gelat, he & we worked out position of new casita at Can Torrent. Two men now working at the fuente in search of water for the house: went there with Gelat. Very little water is needed for the garden, & since this is October in a dry year if water is found it is likely to last all the year round. To Margarita to try on my coat after many months; heard wireless news of invasion of Abyssinia by the Italians & of a possible Anglo-French naval rapprochment . Finished Almost Forgotten Times [Chapter] XXXVI & started A.F.T. [Chapter] XXXVII. To Café where failed to get Daventry news but played Parchesi with Juan & Modern Girl & A.N.OTHER & won.
