Mile and a half, fruit breakfast, reading, writing, and making a pamphlet version of Edmund Grindal’s letter to Queen Elizabeth in behalf of continuing the sermon-instruction conferences known as ‘prophesyings.’
Tuesday
Two miles, breakfast at Rick’s, research and writing, walk with the dogs, more reading, all day…
Monday More of the Same
Mile and a half, fruit breakfast, referee report done, research and writing (delight!), a bit of gardening…
Sunday After
Mile and a half (in the rain), hot breakfast, reading for refereeing, and toward midday, an interval listening first to Abbey Road and then to All Things Must Pass, and recalling a world where I was young and these were new.
Settling Saturday
Two miles, hot breakfast, some reading and adding just a very few words to my essay (but add them I did)…
Friday Accounts
Mile and a half (slightly cooler, a welcome change), fruit breakfast, reading for refereeing… and that was most of my day. I lost energy (refereeing too often does that to me).

Settling Tuesday Accounts
Two miles, breakfast at Rick’s, research reading, referee reading, requisite entertainment of Minke and Flora, more reading, a few more words.
Yesterday… and Today
Yesterday, a mile and a half, hot breakfast, more words (yay!), pleasure reading from The Cowley Fathers, and some family time (construing ‘family’ to include dogs). Today, just a mile, out of gentleness to my body in the heat, fruit breakfast which might as well not have happened as far as my appetite is concerned,…
Since I Was Looking…
Today I was searching for a half-remembered baraita to the effect that if all Israel were to keep the Law for a single day, the Messiah would come — but I couldn’t call to mind enough of the exact words for G***** to be of any help. Finally I came up with some unattributed quotations…
Where Did I Put That Day?
Yesterday: a mile and half, fruit breakfast, and more research reading on the Bible in Catholic England. Today: two miles, hot breakfast, more research, but also a couple of paragraphs of writing (would have been more, but other responsibilities intervened).
