On this day in 1666, Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary:
“Lay pretty long in bed, and then … to church, … [and] … home, and dined well on some good ribbes of beef roasted, and some mince pies … and plenty of good wine … , and my heart full of true joy; and thanks to God Almighty for the goodness of my condition at this day”.
Merry Christmas my friend.
And the same to you!
quite a feast. Apparently he had no indigestion!
