There we walked up and down the Yard and Wett Dock, and did our main business, which was to examine the proof of our new way of the call-books, which we think will be of great use.
I've said it before, but I do love it when Sam talks about 'my patch' - the Royal Docks at Deptford. Especially as the area of the docks is still clear because of the farce of the Convoys Wharf (non) development. It lead me down a rabbit hole...

It's not remotely silly.
It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

Home, where I found my wife and her brother discoursing about Mr. Ashwell’s daughter, whom we are like to have for my wife’s woman, and I hope it may do very well, seeing there is a necessity of having one.

I took Creed by coach and to the Duke’s playhouse, where we did see “The Five Hours” entertainment again, which indeed is a very fine play, though, through my being out of order, it did not seem so good as at first; but I could discern it was not any fault in the play.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I walked with my brother Tom, telling him my mind how it is troubled about my father’s concernments, and how things would be with them all if it should please God that I should die, and therefore desire him to be a good husband and follow his business, which I hope he do.

I know she's been the focus of some of the most blinkered of incel fanboys' ire but she has presided over absolutely fantastic Star Wars stuff - all of it. The galaxy far, far away will be in excellent hands and Kathleen can leave with this droid's heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
Ending a lengthy tenure, Kathleen Kennedy has stepped down as president of Lucasfilm. Two new bosses are in line to take over.
