Here is an extract from my “Remaining Journal”, which is in effect my diary entry for 15 August 1979.

Wednesday 15th of August 1979 –

Anil and I went shopping in Curepipe this morning, and this afternoon Jan Sooknah took us for a drive to see some beautiful places around Moka which we hadn’t seen.

This evening we went to Dan’s and got back late for a late dinner and now bed.

Perhaps this picture is Floréal or Curepipe or Moka

Tuesday 14th of August 1979 –

At Sooknah’s; did very little during the day, except in the afternoon his brother in law (Dan) and his wife (Sheila) came around. They invited us over for tomorrow. Anil and I were supposed to go to the postponed party today, but it was cancelled at the last minute because of the strikes.

Instead we had another interesting chat (Ahalia is very good at those) and went to bed.

I don’t think I got any pictures of Jan Sooknah and his family. He was a wealthy barrister who lived in Floréal. I don’t think he wanted me to take pictures, otherwise I would have done.
