Possibly :)

We could play a game "complete the sentence which makes no sense"....

I did find, a month or two back a spoof blog, where someone was reading the diary entries and making up silly alternatives with a modern twist. Didnt bookmark it though.

only 10 more days to go!  :'(

What are we going to do then?

Maybe the Westminster Archives could put the diary in book form so that we could all buy one!

Aha! In that case my entry for complete-the-unfinished-sentence would be "workhouse"...

"Old Mr Herbert buried at St Pancras Old Church yard from the … workhouse"

(Good detective work, deb!)

A really sad day ...

I think Westminster Archives do intend to put the diary into book form.

I am going away on the 11th ...  :'( so will miss all all the recapping about the diary.  :'(
How can I lock this thread?  :'(
After the last diary entry ( :'() I also intended to start a new "general discussion" thread about the diary but I won't be able to as I won't be here. Not sure if I'll have internet access ...  :'(

I'll really miss this.  :'(

Today's entry:
Is a 'day book' a diary? If so, he is having one made! How much nicer would that be than this year's diary - an old ledger book! Oh, if only it had survived. I am SO sad to think about it being thrown out after all the thoughts, time and effort Nat went to to have it made and write in it. And I'm sad that we don't have the pleasure of another year of Nat's life.  :'(

I suppose that would have been one of the ones that the antiquarian Aleck Abrahams owned. Hopefully there are still more of Nathaniel's diaries out there somewhere and one day they will be found.

I may well be wrong but I thought today's entry referred to something like a promotional diary for the coal-yard to give out to their customers?  Cutting it a bit fine though if it's to be ready for distribution in time for the new year!
