Diary 11.4.1883

Wednesday April 11


Got up at 6:30 had some fried eggs and toast then some porridge and coffee, a very fine morning and nice and hot, the sailors have been working very hard getting all masts into order for the warm weather and putting lightning conductors on the top. A whale passed within two miles of us it was not such a large one, also a shoal of porpoises passed quite near, there was a lot of them and some star fish.

  1. I've just about decided that food obsession is hereditary although when there is nothing to do all day,thoughts turn to what is going to happen next i.e. a meal.

  2. Those obsessives without sin should eat cake (I'm sure that's a mixed metaphor)
