 Sheila drove us to Puerto De Carmen this morning so that Ally can look at sun glasses. They are all far too expensive and in the end she borrowed a pair belonging to Valerie (my cousin).  They took us to the north of the island for lunch, and I'm almost asleep. We lunched on a mountain top. We all had prawns in garlic - delicious. Afterwards we must all have smelled very anti-social. I settled the bill - 2,800 pesetas. Then on to Mirador Del Rio, spectacular views, and the caves of Jameos del agua, a very relaxing spot.  Home tonight quite buggered. We sat watching films on John's video recorder. The first was an Australian creation 'Mad Max', set in the outback after a nuclear holocaust. Then Richard Burton in 'Villain'. Roast chicken around the grand table. Ally is stunned by John's likeness to Papa and she giggles and exclaims in wonderment every time he opens his mouth to speak. Sheila flits about like a bird, and is clearly very much in love with John.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
