On this day I did work to oversee a feast day for the occasion of the anniversary of my birth. The guests did arrive some hours after noon and through the eve. We ate much and had many storytellers for entertainment, and were merrier for the hearing thereof. The day was overhot, and we kept to cool pastymes, and so we danced not, nor did we run races, although the children did play at battledore and shuttlecock. Towards the evening it did rain, and soon thereafter did those who live not here remove to their lodgings.
