A little rain in the morning. Fine weather towards noon. Fresh south-east wind.
Stayed around here and botanised, our wagon having arrived only at four o'clock this afternoon. We found various particularly beautiful ixias, gladioli and antholysas, as well as some four-sided brown pyrites in a little brook that flows beside the house here. We went to draw this farm and prepare everything for our further journey.
