I guess you can always get *some* woodwork in
Samuel Pepys Diary - Saturday 13 October 1660
To my Lord’s in the morning, where I met with Captain Cuttance, but my Lord not being up I went out to Charing Cross, to see Major- general Harrison hanged, drawn, and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition. He was presently cut down, and his head and heart shown to the people, at which there was great shouts of joy. It is said, that he said that he was sure to come shortly at the right hand of Christ to judge them that now had judged him; and that his wife do expect his coming again. Thus it was my chance to see the King beheaded at White Hall, and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the blood of the King at Charing Cross.
From thence to my Lord’s, and took Captain Cuttance and Mr. Sheply to the Sun Tavern, and did give them some oysters. After that I went by water home, where I was angry with my wife for her things lying about, and in my passion kicked the little fine basket, which I bought her in Holland, and broke it, which troubled me after I had done it. Within all the afternoon setting up shelves in my study. At night to bed.

Quite a day, but the only normal bit was the setting up shelves. Dont think I would be up for oysters after a hanging with the head and hart being displayed. Then home , abused the wife, trashed the joint in a fit of rage before some woodwork. I guess the woodwork is good for anger management.
A strange and complex man was Mr Pepys.
Regards
John
