A book, a blanket and a grilled cheese is how I'm going to spend a #hyggehour tonight. Need to escape to another time before the chaos of the week takes over. Not sure how many pages I'll read because I could fall asleep at any minute but I'm going to try amd get through the entire hour.

I‘ve long wanted to read about the Irish taken into slavery in the Islamic world. So this book is perfect for #Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
Continuing this read while the car is in for an oil change. Nice little morning break from work! I'm enjoying it so far but I'm not that far in yet. Won't get it finished today for #bookedintime but I'm glad I was led to this book by the prompt!

The illustrations in the book are genius.
... tales of bluff Norfolk farmers baffled by religious change, of drunken evenings in provincial inns and oak-panelled parlours, of saucy Norwich prostitutes and dour Dutch drainage engineers, of Cuckold the Calthorpes‘ dog and Wiggett the Hunstanton Hall fool, and of the many misadventures of Mr Prick, the unfortunately named minister of Denham. [The book]... enclosed one family‘s capacity for laughter even in the most serious times.
Royalists were lampooned for thirsting for rewards and court positions (dreaming of being ‘mounted on horseback with golden Sausedges about their Necks‘)...
Print got there first. Seems oddly topical given the events in (some parts of) the UK this week.
They had fought and fasted, prayed and toiled for liberty, and even executed the King, but 'now the common enemy is gone, you are all like men in a mist, seeking for freedom and know not where, nor what it is'
(After the Parliamentary forces defeated the King in the English civil war)
