I wish there was a "like" button for some of these comments. Although I do understand this is not that "type" of forum. I am so glad I am reading this in 2015, lots of the annotations give me the giggles.

Where I found Commissioner Willoughby had sent for all his things away out of my bedchamber - I don't understand why in some countries people sell their belongings with their houses. In South Africa we take everything with us and clean up the entire house (hygene), except for the stove/oven!

Finding the annotations very useful. Wondering how many years it is going to take me to read the diary. So addictive.
