Transcript
  • Sunday May 26 Laura woke up at 5 with hugely swollen lip. Called me. Went into garden & found a spring onion. She rubbed in on, took LEDUM homeopathically and recovered. Mosquito? Re-wrote letter to Amy Graves , went over three chapters of C.F.V. , did some transcopying. To village to get Carmen to help Honor etc. in Catalina's absence. Wet Damp, heavy day. Went over final Epilogue points with Laura. Len's Film Making (& Laura 's) put in at last moment. Picked 2 lbs of strawberries. Solomon given worm doses. Hot bath in afternoon. Gelat & Bernardo came: Gelat discussed buying Bernardo's spring - only pretence really, to make people think that no water will go from Molí spring. Doctor's machinations again defeated. Gelat is getting my chair made of cherry wood from Ca'n Juni. Checked typing of "Film Making" wrapped up Epilogue to go off tomorrow. Paid Gamage surplus for boat accessories. Gelat has leave to roof hut as boat-house.
