Sunday May 10th
Sweated out a cold last night with rum & hot orange water.
Rained again all night.
Planted some self sown cranes-bill. A lot of dahlias are coming up, planted[RG]
self-sown[RG]. Others eaten by slugs.
Wrote tentative foreword for Antigua & went over Karl's typing
of the new chapters. Laura reading proofs
of Epilogue II.
The espalier roses at their best.
First love-in-the-mist out.
All getting so fed up with Catalina.
Strawberries starting.
Everything very late that wasn't very early. Pears not even budding yet, most
of them.
Finished the three chapters of Ant. and included in the typescript.
Eyes very tired.
