Yikes! Rarely post @ this buuut as am on the threshold of 1666 follows (now at 1665) my #ThisYearinHistory research chills me to the bone:

1665 an outbreak of Bubonic Plague spread through London until thousands had died and the huge pits dug to receive the bodies were full.

In 1666 the Great Fire of London.
On the bright side: the rats and thus fleas were killed, eradicating the plague.

Not sure if the glass is half full or half empty so please! Somebody follow and get me out of here these numbers are too ... too 1665/6...

In 1667 - a truce between Russia and the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth - phew! a good sign.

Also, an end to the Anglo-Dutch War.
