2.0

So this diary is mostly made of endless opinions on English domestic affairs. Some on politics, some on economics and social issues. The language is annoying with excessive irony, worsened by the miserable illness of the author that will eventually kill him. Dead calm sea, dropsy, seasickness are the background. Good luck with the reading.

There is just about nothing on Lisbon much to my bitter disappointment since the journey happened on the eve of the great earthquake.
