Saturday 11 August 1660

I rose to-day without any pain, which makes me think that my pain yesterday was nothing but from my drinking too much the day before.  To my Lord this morning, who did give me order to get some things ready against the afternoon for the Admiralty where he would meet.  To the Privy Seal, and from thence going to my own house in Axeyard, I went in to Mrs. Crisp's, where I met with Mr. Hartlibb; for whom I wrote a letter for my Lord to sign for a ship for his brother and sister, who went away hence this day to Gravesend, and from thence to Holland.  I found by discourse with Mrs. Crisp that he is very jealous of her, for that she is yet very kind to her old servant Meade.  Hence to my Lord's to dinner with Mr. Sheply, so to the Privy Seal; and at night home, and then sent for the barber, and was trimmed in the kitchen, the first time that ever I was so.  I was vexed this night that W. Hewer was out of doors till ten at night but was pretty well satisfied again when my wife told me that he wept because I was angry, though indeed he did give me a good reason for his being out; but I thought it a good occasion to let him know that I do expect his being at home.  So to bed.
