So, yeah, today wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. This morning's archive work was really good: I had a really interesting idea (though I says it as shouldn't) about substitutes for religion in schools, and I got through the work I'd wanted to do today by lunchtime. So instead of staying just for the sake of it, I went home super crazy early! At home this afternoon I read and took notes on about 200 pages of the secondary material I'd borrowed, so that was good, and then I watched a couple of Supernatural episodes just now, because obviously I want nightmares.
But none of that is relevant to the Feast of the Day! Here it is, from Bobby Blake and His School Chums - a description of a lunch packed for four people and eaten, by the way, after snacking on apples in the morning: "A whole roast chicken was dragged to light amid shouts of glee. Then there were ham and tongue sandwiches, peach and apple tarts with plenty of filling and with golden, flaky crust, and biscuits, freshly baked that morning with a pot of honey to spread on them." Seriously: each boy ate, on average, a sandwich, a biscuit, a tart, and a quarter of a chicken, after snacking on apples! These kids are 11 or 12, by the way.
