One time cookemayde to the Pepys. Not easy on the eye but pleasing to the stomach - like a drink but not the falling down afterwards

There are so many poxed people about I thought my eyesight was amiss, as sometimes happens after strong ale, and seeing spots as an illusion

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I asked for strong ale but got only small beer.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

AMEN! RT @samuelpepys I do really enjoy myself & understand if I do not do it now I shall not hereafter have health to take pleasure in it.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I have drained the wassail bowl three times

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I have wet the baby's head so many times that now it is Christmas morning I cannot stand and walk

The only reason to have a kerchief about your neck is for a good blow of your nose

A man said my bosom looked like a piece of crumpled sacking. I thought him a knave, but he bought me strong ale and swore he was a gentleman

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

The hair of the dog would just set me right, but I have had to make do with a raw egg and some bacon fat.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I have been at the porter and strong ale.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I hate waste so I have drunk up the ale that was standing at the table.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

my joint of beef was roasted just right, but the master was so keen to get to the play that he made no time to taste it proper

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

I have a bruise on my leg where the master kicked me and another larger about my hip where I fell against the door after some small beer

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]

This sorrow gives me a great thirst but I moan't grieve my master more and will stay sober till his mother is in the ground.

[Luce Stokes @DrunkenLuce]
