Today was unseasonally and delightfully warm. With Bobby now safely installed in Brighton, Jackie and Bryan have kindly spent the past fortnight redecorating his room so that I can have my own private study (except during Bobby's occasional visits) rather than a cubby hole under the stairs. Today I hobbled about on my sore ankle putting up shelves and preparing to take up occupation of my new domain: it was hot work but very satisfying.

In the evening I finished reading RE Pritchard's Shakespeare's England: Life in Elizabethan and Jacobean Times which is an illuminating collection of contemporary social commentaries on England around 1600.
