from Charles Darwin’s Beagle Diary for May 7, 1832″
Rio de Janeiro
Went on board & spent the day there, in the evening brought with me a few things which I wanted before the departure of the Beagle.

from Pepys Diary for May 6, 1664

Busy at it all day, only in the afternoon home, and there, my books at the office being out of order, wrote letters and other businesses.
