Transcript
  • July 20 Wednesday. Today I saw a red squirrel: yesterday a kingfisher. We engaged a deaf cook-general to live in: her name is Modeste Dreuxlin. The kitten is constantly getting lost & found in unexpected places: top of the attic ladder; in the food cupboard, at the bottom of the fire-extinguisher case. Oat-harvest at the farm. I put on summer clothes for the first time this year. The house is now more in hand. L went over some poems with me. All the spare crockery washed. The postman an old soldier drinks.
