Francis Bacon, lawyer, philosopher, and disgraced politician, died #otd, 9 April 1626.
My preferred story about his death is that he caught a chill while experimenting on the best ways to freeze chicken - proving that frozen chicken does, indeed, last longer than bacon. 1/2

My first stepmum has passed away, sister messaged me. I liked her a lot. I liked all of my dad's wives TBF, he had good taste. She was a big part of my childhood and was wonderful when I moved to Bristol (lost and broken) to do my MA, 20 years after they divorced. RIP Jo ♥️
