I dined on a leg of mutton boiled and turnips. At home all day. Wrote out Mr Sam Gibbs’s bill and part of Mrs Piper’s. Lent James Hutson in cash two pounds ten shillings…
In the evening Peter Pellin and I played 10 games of cribbage for one halfpenny each, but neither of us won or lost, the games being equal. A very cold day and very little to do in the shop… I think business was never so dull before.
