Pepy's Diary. 09 May 1669. Thence towards the Park, but too soon to go in, so went on to Knightsbridge, and there eat and drank at "The World's End [Map]", where we had good things, and then back to the Park, and there till night, being fine weather, and much company, and so home, and after supper to bed. This day I first left off both my waistcoats by day, and my waistcoat by night, it being very hot weather, so hot as to make me break out, here and there, in my hands, which vexes me to see, but is good for me.
