Turin
Just as cold, & wetter. Very unpleasant. But I cannot say I suffer as much in these rooms as I did one year at Condi Terrace.
From 9 to 5 ― worked at Turin: tolerably well. Went upstairs & called at Maudes & Cravens ―― both out.
At 6 dinner ― ὤς Χθὲς.1
& penned out 3rd Jumerka=Janina sketch till 10.15.
It is a great thing to get over any part of the ‘winter’ easily ― & so far, so good.
