RIP

According to the Death Clock, I will die on Monday, May 28, 2046. You may send donations to my favorite charities in lieu of flowers.

Mealtimes

I've found this very interesting essay on the evolution of mealtimes when for ages the main meal of the day was around noontime which makes sense even today especially if you're keeping your eye on your weight (Sumo wrestlers gain their enormous weight by eating a large meal just before they go to bed). It wasn't until the past couple of centuries that the main meal was served in the evening. I found the habits of the upper crust English in the 1790s particularly interesting. All in all a great resource for someone writing historical stories.


ETA: Speaking of history I forgot to add that I found this lovely animation of the famed Bayeux Tapestry. I think it was the newspaper of its day.
