Early Modern Notes

A new stall at the farmers’ market yesterday - Elan Valley Mutton. Oh yum yum yum.

I haven’t eaten mutton for nearly 15 16 years. And that was in Mauritius.*

I shall mostly be eating mutton curry tomorrow (one for the Zanzibar curry mix, methinks) and there should be plenty for the freezer too.

Update:

Happiness.

…….

*Terrifyingly, this also means that it’s almost 15 16 years since I got married. I could have been celebrating my 15th 16th wedding anniversary next year. I could have had a house - and a mortgage - for almost 20 years. Instead… I have a PhD. [But I still can’t count.]

I can live with that trade-off.
