This week is proving to be a little more normal so we had a formal day off on Tuesday and did the usual things including getting a coffee, reading and watching TV. Reading matter included the latest Private Eye and a new printing of John Newton's diary for 1764, the year he became the incumbent in Olney, Buckinghamshire. Marylynn Rouse has done a stirling work of scholarship (a scholarship that is not too snooty to mention the Beatles and World War II in the footnotes) to produce this. Well worth getting (see here). TV intake included University Challenge online and (recorded) the first in the new series of Liar (which struggled a bit I thought).
