I have been reading a couple of books over the past several weeks:
Eleanor of Aquitane. A biography, by Marion Meade. 1977. The historical facts of Eleanors life and marriage to Louis VII of France and Henry II of England are woven into an interesting history. It is just as good or better than any modern soap opera.
The Illustrated History of Britain, by Sir George Clark. 1983. This is a summary of British history interspersed with some interesting images.
Today I did more cleanup on the garden and lawn. Put out another 4 bags for recycling.
We did a shorter walk today of about 4 km. I was still a bit tired after the 17 km bike ride on Saturday.
Did a bit more work on the New Jersey Marriages. Colonial Era, 1665-1800 from Ancestry.com. I added a reference for a couple of marriages.
