It’s anniversary day in our household today, three of them falling on one day. Other than that, it’s been a quiet weekend with early starts at the desk…
Some writing, some plotting, planning and some research too. This morning’s job is to look into the structure of the City of London police as it was in 1893 and then learn how to tie a noose – it’s best you don’t ask! Some of the things I have to look up online… Eek! Apart from that… there was music in the square last night, the Yialos to Panormitis marathon has been run, the day boats continue to come in, and the weather is cooling down. It’s that time of year already when I have a fan beside me, but I have to wear a shirt because it’s cold, but without the fan, it would be too stuffy. Still, nice early mornings…
One thing I did try to research was the manufacture of my old Louis Vuitton trunk, which has been with me since I was eight. I had a look at the label and tried to find any info I could from the net and found one site that turned out to be inaccurate. It said, LV didn’t open at the Champs-Élysées address until 1925, but I have since found out that it opened in 1914, so I know the trunk is post 1914. The other addresses were in use before that, so they don’t help. There’s something about the placement of the serial number being beside the label, not above or on it, but when I search for info on that, I only get answers about modern serial numbers. Anyway, it’s an ongoing investigation, and talking of which, I must get back to London in 1893, and the nursery rhyme ‘Oranges and Lemons.’
