Transcript
  • Monday March 4th. Motor mended at last. To Palma, to dentist. (Got 3 packets Lucky Strike at Valldemosa for 45 pesetas) Spent most of my time going from one merceria to another looking for grey nacre buttons with rounded tops and button holes behind, for a dress for Honor. None about. Went to Calle Jaime I and got, instead, a set of silver & horn buttons with small white glass tops for 10 pesetas. Then to Margarita Mateu & got about 6O old buttons of various sorts for 4 pesetas: which caused Laura pleasure. In the camión Gelat went for about 30 yds in low gear hooting, behind Castor, who was leading a loaded donkey. The donkey baulked & Castor, furious, kicked it ineffectually in the stomach with his alpargatas . Today both in Deyá & Palma girls dressed in peasant-dress. Washing-boiler bought.
