- June 7th Friday Gordon's birthday. Five tier cake from local bakery. To village to find cigarette[-making]-machine, mislaid. Couldn't. Finally Laura asked Solomon: it was in his kennel. Posada; six men at work. Three new window frames now in, and mina dug. Flowers for fiesta (carnations at their best; love in the mist going over) Some pages of Claudius Film Version To Ca'n Juni: will be a good many plums & apples, and a great many oranges. Gelat's news better. He has avoided danger of having Ca'n Medo Ca'n Madó sequestrated. Two lawyers came & said that Doctor's party has no case, & that water cannot be shut by judicial order until the case is lost, and appeal lost etc. Lawyers will see that Dr's party loses a fortune in prosecution costs. Gelat's costs will be paid by not having to run motor. (But nine days late for his plan of sequestrating Molí.) Gordon's party: white table cloth, red runner, cake, candles, pineapple ice from hotel, champagne. Desert island treatment. Gordon rhyme, Mary song, Carl essay, Honor drawing - me, dance in patio with Laura as orchestra. Then to Can Torrent. Beer, buffet. Gordon had to guess his presents by licking, feeling with feet & other tactile impressions. Letter-writing between us, Gordon's case subject of much correspondence between Laura & Honor, & Honor & me. Laura wore her 1860s dress.
