Happy Town Taking Day. On this day in 1688, the deputy governor, Capt. Lionel Copley, probably acted on his own initiative to forestall a scheme of Langdale's to seize all the Protestant officers in the garrison in Hull. On the night of 3 December Copley, together with the Protestant officers, some trusted soldiers, and a number of aldermen and reliable citizens, captured the governor, secured other Roman Catholic officers, took control of the Citadel, and declared for Prince William. There were no counter-measures, and the possession of the town by the prince's supporters put an end to all resistance in Yorkshire. From thence on, December 3rd was declared a public holiday in Hull & ‘Town-Taking’ day. https://www.historyofparliamentonli...tuencies/kingston-upon-hull#footnote3_jhs343w https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol1/pp90-171#h3-0009

Just had a banana and it was ****ing lovely. Bit of Bargain Hunt, bit of Not606, nice bit of potassium to keep my blood pressure at a steady level... good day so far
Spag bol for tea. The Missus makes a lovely spag bol and I make the garlic bread, Jamie style. It's lovely.
I detest pasta and do not condone the double-dose of carbohydrates, but you seem OK, Mr Kempton, so I'll give you a like anyway
