Tuesday, 8 April 1862
Rose at 6.30.
Quite cloudy all day: ― & warm. ― towards sunset, N.E. winds ― & a little rain.
Painted skies to small Corfus & seas ― &c.
Mrs. De Vere came.
& later, Ὀικονόμος.
& G. Παραμυθιόττι.
At 2 walked slowly to Ποταμὼ ― & drew at Πανταλείμωνα till 5.30. Saw the Dwarf Διονύσιος ― & returned to dine at 7.30 ― walking up ― (a bore ―) with Herbert & the Le Mesuriers ― who dawdle & talk no sense.
Penned out till 12. ―
Had arranged to go to Paleocastrizza on Thursday ― but cui bono in such weather?
