Monday, 5 January 1863

A bad night & morning.

Alas!                                        XX1

Worked ill ― though I worked from 9 to 4. off & on ― but often almost impossibly.

G. is afuss all day ― always of shops being shut for 3 days: whereby he has to get all things into the house for 3 days.

At 4.30 walked to the Molin a’ vento[1] ― expecting to draw the moon: but the moon ― perverse ― did not rise at all.

Stefanizzi at 6.45 to 7.45. ―

Dined quietly. And noise there is none. G. went home at 9.

I ― penned out till 11.30. when he returned. ― Χτὸς is always more ill.
