Much has happened, since I last wrote, ever dearest Diary. I cannot begin to tell you most all of it, but needless to say getting a job and sticking at it has paid dividends, not merely in monetary terms, but in the building of one's character. In any case, today, I went out, and bought "Josephine" the Joanna (Pianoforte). I am immensely happy about this, as I have wanted a pianoforte since I began having lessons, aged 8. Three score years later, I have one in my possession. It cost me an arm and a leg, and I shall have to graze from plates at work in the meantime (for this next month), but I have Josephine. She is beautiful.
Another acquisition I have in my possession is Arion: a late 19th Century ornamental guitar. I bought it off the guy who shagged my Mrs. Excellent.
My degree is coming along fabulously, but I can't say much about that except that I am gradually learning the difference between being a Classicist and a Linguistic Anthropologist.
Next week I begin my apprenticeship as a junior archaeologist. I am to attend a watching brief, for an old Romano-British hill-fort. My Mrs. used to like walking there. It turns out my master (the professional archaeologist) is likely shagging her as well. I say, "My" missus, but she's anybodies.
