Transcript
  • Aug 3rd Saturday. The day that the Mesquida table was moved, end up to the Mesquida picture: Laura & I sitting opposite each other. Other changes, which sent a plate over to Can Torrent & fixed the inlaid table in the screen corner. Richards . No sea today. Paid Amador for cigarettes. Sala tiled now, except for dado affair Planted dahlias with Sebastian. Made blackberry & apple jelly: in the middle Laura wanted to read out her contingent will instructions to executors. We worked on these until 2 a.m. In the middle I tried to squeeze the juice through a cloth but it went wrong & I made a lot of mess, & waste. I got supper, made ice, cleared away. Laura kept Karl employed for several hours. Josefa told me that it was the 9th of the month — from Laura's the Señora's calendar. Laura's diary nearly a month out of reckoning.
