History





Was having a look through some of Samuel Pepys diary entries, and he documented every day of his life, literally!

It basically reads like a 1600 version of updating his FB status on a daily basis. 🤣

He did get his name into the history books for documenting both the great plague and the great London fire though.

But most of the other days basically read like:
Dear diary,
Like OMG, saw the most stunning powered wig in town today! #windowshopping
Went for a pint with the b.tches later on, and WTF Thomas was acting like such a little b.tch! #dramaqueen

Lol, kidding, but no... Most days were pretty mundane.

Radio 4 serialized the diaries a few years' back. They were very good, but unfortunately unavailable unless you want to pay. Our Sam was a randy old devil ! lol

Most days are - until they're not.

iirc, Pepys is buried in St Olaves Church round the corner from were he lived in Seething Lane(?)
