This starts with a Hull case.
The Star Chamber Elizabeth, Pilot Episode is on-line. It is just a bit of fun unless it is well received, in which case there will be more. (And I will get my very own zoom account.)

New blog post on the Plague of 1603 in Hull. Especially for those who found the post on the Hull Plague of the 1570s interesting.

For those not finding fresh meat, fruit and veg at the supermarkets. I bought what I needed in Hull market yesterday, lots of choice, no queues.
There is a new blog here on the story of Hull in the plague of 1575-6

Taking a hot-soup break today after calling on the Remainers of Hull (there are plenty) to tell their MPs to support the people's vote. Thanks to Steve Bray for the inspiration. @snb19692

Disaster. I have discovered a meme-making website. That is the end of work for a while.
Mrs May says it’s her plan, no plan or remain. MPs will decide. Tell yours how to vote using this simple MP finder/emailer. There is a suggested text but you can delete it and substitute your own. peoples-vote.uk/write_this_w… Your MP actually wants to hear from you.

I have just had a thought. Toad-eater is a bowdlerization of turd-eater. Is this already known? I may have been helped by the happy chance that in Hull "toad" is pronounced "turd".

But the food in the market is now truly amazing. My favourites are a goats’ cheese tart followed by a Sicilian cannolo and an espresso.

Still trying to teach Shakespeare, but with talks this time rather than workshops. @HullMinster Now all I have to do is write the three lectures.
Brilliant, exciting, funny. Go to York to the pop-up Rose Theatre. Really enjoyed the Midsummer Night’s Dream matinee yesterday. @ShakespearesRT If you are a groundling, take a cushion.
