He seems a little glum

Pliny the Elder has been rather quiet lately, ever since that meeting. I wish I hadn't mentioned 79BC, particularly as I got the date wrong. It was 79AD that he died in the volcano. So perhaps it was mere bravado that he pretended not to know what I was talking about.

To cheer him up I asked him if he would like to write tomorrow's blog and he looked really happy after that. He's gone to the Library to do some research. I didn't like to tell him about the internet search engines. What a disaster if he should accidentally google himself.
