i thought i was asleep at sutton

the reason i blog these days has something to do with having read claire tomalin's book on samuel pepys : the unequalled self. a wonderful examination of the diaries and the life. he is credited with the first purpose made bookshelves. i remember giving it to bill to read but he claims i may not have returned his copy of ellis. not true as it's bright orange and not amongst my remaining possessions
