I got some nice things:
God’s Clockmaker: Richard of Wallingford and the Invention of Time, by John North (2005)
England’s Troubles: Seventeenth-Century English Political Instability in European Context by Jonathan Scott (2000)
Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 by Tony Judt (2005)
Beloved, by Toni Morrison
Pyramids of Mars on DVD
Twelve Monkeys also on DVD

I cooked roast boar with juniper berries for lunch, and a Georgian chicken herby stew (“Chakhokhbili”) for dinner; both seemed to go down well.

Doctor Who – good with some great lines (“Arthur Dent”, “Lion King”). Looking forward to the new season.

And so to bed. A good day.
