Timing & context
This is a regular weekly meeting schedule, not a claim that the Board met each morning. Only morning is supplied for Tuesdays and Saturdays; its precise time and duration are unknown.
Two passages explicitly describe recurring habits. Rising followed the changing daylight; office meetings had specified weekdays. They were recorded in different months of 1662 and do not supply a complete or fixed daily timetable.
1662 is the year of both passages. The 3 September entry recalls earlier rising by four and a change to after five; the 18 February entry records a recurring office-meeting schedule. The calendar combines these qualified habits, not the events of either diary day.
