O.S.S. [Old Soldier Sahib] is now complete up to date in both copies — about 60,000 words.
Wire from Constable about giving Mss [manuscripts] to Beck to print. Laura replied.
Men came to fix the stone tables: Gelat is waiting until Castañer's departure before he gives us the good ones: the ones we have are only cement. Went to village, met Gelat in the Clot gathering apples near Peñaranda's1 house. Best I have tasted in Mallorca. Cleaned my glass pebbles. Planted stock seeds. Men put up two table columnas2.
Sun & showers and a rainbow exactly across the sea. Gelat brought apples.
Turbine lighting very bad. Juan traced it to some electrical burden put on the line by the millonario. When that was removed all was well. Parchesi with Gelat, L, & Magdalena. Ate sardines & sobrasada3 at the old café. Margarita wanted to know if I was still angry. Was.
Later went to ask G. if there was anything on his mind. Laura & I thought there might be about I & J4 talking in the café. There wasn't. Wrote to Hillgarth about the Dia5 and its anti-English English page.
Two blanket weather.[RG]
