New Year’s Day I read 1663 Pepys on a very wet and windy day as I tend the ducks and the Family deal with their illnesses whilst getting used to the idea of me selling upfar from the Nigerian Coup and the terrorist bombs in France
A good lay in again and Daniel even longer after our late night. Diana up and about but now is smitten by cold as the rest of us and ill of humour at our laziness whilst she works. For me the entire morning reading in bed before washing my hair and bathing in time for a lunch of lamb. After both, Daniel and Diana retire to bed, and I face the choice between starting my new year’s paperwork or watching the holiday television.
