Thursday, 28 November 1861
The same glorious weather ― & not quite so cold.
Rose at 7. Breakfast at home. Arranged & unpacked all the morning. Count Henckel came ― but I could not have him here much, seeing he walks & whistles. At 2 called on Lady & Sir C. Sargent, they seem nice people, & have a jolly little boy ― & a pleasant niece. At 3 walked with Sir Charles, & with Boyd to Alipu ― crossed to the Potamo bridge ― a very pleasant walk.
At 6 ― dined at Carters ― Count Henckel , the 3 men of yesterday, & a surgeon of the 4th. ―
Ate too little & drank too much.
