1.4.1976

It’s beautiful outside, in weather like we’re having now, it makes room two seem all the more like a funeral parlour. The sun never shines there, physically or metaphorically. The inhabitant is a natural denizen of the shade, who is 75% boring and 25% witty. Gathered in that Mount Parnassian habitation is most of the accumulated knowledge of past civilisations and it is rumoured that the Thornton Library is a mere extension of THS’s brain.

April Fool’s Day today! We pulled some good stunts, including sending five different people into our history set. Well, we didn’t but were planning to. The news programmes had a good day, inventing articles like the White Cliffs of Dover being turned green by an algae and the only treatment would also crumble the chalk!! Well, I believed it!
