Finished A.F.T.
[Almost Forgotten Times]
Chapter XXVII started XXVIII.
Watch came back mended.
To sea but the Cala was full of sea-weed so went along to Lluchalcari & bathed (left my bathing-trunks behind: left message at Hotel for them)1.
Watch came back, and Laura's earrings, a success.
Found the meaning of fennel in the Prometheus legend: tinder.
