Thursday, 5 February 1880

I would like to do always as today: work from 8 to 12 and from 2 to 5 o'clock. At 5 o'clock they bring the lamps and I draw until half past 7. From half past 7 to 8, dress; at 8 o'clock, dinner, reading, and falling asleep at 11 o'clock. However, from 2 to half past 7 without stopping is a little tiring.
