  • Tuesday Wednesday April 17 Ca'n Torrent being whitewashed by Carmen and Antonio. Went with Salomo to Cas Pintat, Estanco & Pepe to get calx: only got a little. On the way up the steps at foot of Turismo hill (Turismo now shut up) a white and ginger cat (with a kitten indoors) attacked Salamo wantonly. I kicked her off. She scratched me through my trousers. She ran off attacked again. I sheltered Salamo (on his lead) and as she charged punted her away with my alpargatas . She attacked four times in all, but each time I punted her off. I was brave but frightened. Roses out, also convolvulus. Sirocco gone: no rain: cold wind. Cheque to Dulan for animals [£]1.5/- and ordered Hippopotome.
