What a great day. The sun shone from the start and it warmed up too. There were a lot of slug trails and a lot of missing leaves on the bedding plants M put in last week. She is a little miffed about them. The garden looks great in spite of that, lots of colour (UK spelling) already and lots of buds heralding more to come.

Two books I won on Ebay arrived. One was printed in 1899 and the other 1851. They are about Elizabethan theatre (UK spelling) and writing. They are packed with information but I have only glanced at them so far.

Also had a rear carrier delivered for the holidays. It fastens to the tow ball on the back of the car. It was supposed to be an upgraded 2016 model but the lighting socket is the old 7 pin design that was superseded  in 2010. I have ordered a converter plug so it will plug into the 13 pin Eurosocket that was fitted to my car in five years ago. No doubt it will all work out in the end.

I was supposed to do a lot of taxi runs today as the clutch failed on my son’s car. In the event they got a courtesy car so I assembled the carrier.

The books that arrived today are shown below.

John a Kent and John a Cumber by Anthony Munday. Printed 1851

This is the man, Anthony Munday, who also wrote under the pen name Shakespeare.

printed 1899

Anthony Munday is also discussed in this book. The contents of both books are from circa 1600.

I want to read them now but have lots of other stuff to do. They will have to join the queue.
