Late dinner tonight as Abigail wasn’t hungry when I got home from a day in the office.#
She’s cooking. Tacos.#
I’m in the bath. I’ve just started reading Samuel Pepys for the first time properly.#
It’s very handily got lots of footnotes giving context and explaining people, events and things. However, there’s so many that it kind of ruins the flow of the reading. And his now out of date language can making it slightly tough anyway. So it’s swings and roundabouts.#
I’m reading each entry once pretty much all the way through. Then re-reading it, consulting the footnotes on second go.#
I’ll say this for Samuel, he wrote with brevity. I’m sure he was using a quill in poor lighting on expensive parchment, so it makes sense.#
Must go. 5 minutes until dinner.#
