- June 11 Thursday Corpus Spent whole morning in garden potting cuttings of white, and mauve-papery, carnations and various things Strenge sent us (she took carnation cuttings from us yesterday & two Cardoons) – mixing various earths & juggling about the pots, making room. About 20 pots. Smith came: gave instructions for the ancient iron balustrade between Canellun & Can Torrent and he and Gelat worked out how the front door balustrade should go. The 'Proxies' (Macdonalds) are going, leaving a broken contract behind them: only paid 80 pesetas. and baker spent 4000 pesetas on house. Letter to Fuller. To J.B.Allen ordering first decent suit for 7 years. Planted the 'solanum'(alias Virgin's tears) by the torrent. Did all the watering, it being a fiesta . Gelat worked out ice-chest with us. Tonight for the first time at cards each of us made a tailor. Laura and I worked out a scheme for my share in Poetry & Politics .
