Michaelmas daisies in the front garden, to remind you that it is the last day of the Exchequer year.
Relaxing, having finished checking 800 pages of proofs for the long-awaited edition of the 1259 pipe roll. Pipe roll fans will have to contain their impatience until December.

About this time next week, if you happen to be at The National Archives, you could drop in to the Pipe Roll Society annual lecture, about pipe rolls, oddly enough:

The shrine of St Alban. At the cathedral today for a requiem for Mike Clasby, fellow-student at KCL, who wrote a booklet about the saint and the shrine. RIP.
Still plodding through the 1258-59 receipt roll. Tedium slightly lessened by finding, within a few lines of each other, payments from William Pig and William Hog.
ALT Entries from receipt roll E 401/60.
Transcribing a receipt roll (E 401/60, for rolls fans) has just been brightened up by discovering a Norfolk village called Pudding Norton.
ALT Extract from receipt roll, recording ½ mark from vill of Pudding Norton.
Received today, Analecta Hibernica 53 from @irishmanuscript with fascinating articles and photos about the destruction (and survival) of Irish records following the 1922 catastrophe in the Dublin PRO. And what's more ...
ALT Cover of Analecta Hibernica no. 53
an article by @ElizabethCBiggs and @pablodiablo74 with transcription and translation of a document concerning corruption in the Irish exchequer in the 1280s. I know only too well that parts of it look like this, so this is a very welcome resource.
ALT TNA: E 101/234/19 m. 1, showing galling.
In Lincoln for a conference about Doris and Frank Stenton, so I had to have a coffee in this café on the High Bridge, where the Stentons and Canon Foster met in 1923 to discuss reviving the Pipe Roll Society. No blue plaque.
