Friday, July 26

I wrote in the morning until Irma got up and we did laundry and gardening. Then we went to Benita’s to collect our old metal stand and the table we used last year for the market. They have been cluttering up Helmer’s shed, but no more…

Now we are at Erika’s shop buying supplies. Garda is working there so there is shrieking and hugging all round. As we leave Benita will drive up to prove that Pellinki is a small community.

Later, since the day is hot like summer ought to be, we will sit in the garden.
