July 15 Friday

Lighting big log fires in the bedrooms, airing mattresses, sheets, blankets. Found the bat hanging on a stair.[RG]
Dull day. Visits from clock maker & butcher.[RG]
In the afternoon A & Beryl came & we shifted furniture & pictures back into the attic.
Got a grey kitten: tentatively called Shadow.[RG]
Very tired indeed.
Anita & Juan came at night and Juanita, with stores and fruit.
We began a custom of 7¼ at night, and another of a stock pot for soup.
