If Pepys' were alive now...

I'm sure he would be a blogger... Have been reading Clare Tomalin's biography and she really does him justice. Today I found this, an online version of the Diary, created by Phil Gyford, who blogs the diary day by day. Am very impressed.

So, the silent period has set in I suppose. Although I haven't heard anything from Stanford yet and the rumour is that they will be sending out interview invites up to March 24th, I've sort of given up hope on going to the West Coast. It was a nice dream while it lasted, though, and at least I gave it a shot. Plus, I'm very happy about the three interview invites I did get. And now, all I can do is wait. And to be really honest, it's pretty nice to have some down-time.

Added, optional extra: great piece in the Observer on the differences between men and women when it comes to wine.
