Friday Evening ...

What a lot of Gaul!

As I was watching videos on YouTube, looking for inspiration as it were, I realized that I was missing most of the video. Why? I kept nodding off. I didn't think I was that tired, apparently I was.

So yes, then I went and played with "What Would You Look Like As A ..."

Great fun.

I often picture myself in other times, then I realize that most of the little amenities we take for granted in these times didn't exist back then.

Clean water. Bathing, good Lord people didn't bathe much back then in the West. What a stinky time that was.

Food, really good food, readily available ...

"Sir Morris?"

"What now, Marcus?"

"Can we stop and get something to eat? I haven't eaten since we left Norwich!"

"Right then, we'll just stop the column and wait for fast food places to be invented."

"Sir Morris?"

"What, Johnnie?"

"Are we there yet ..."

"Don't make me stop this Crusade!"

Do I really look like John Malkovich here?

Anyhoo, I'm tired even after sleeping a fairly solid ten hours Thursday night. Looks like an early night here as well.

Hey Phil, I downloaded that Hermann Löns book, really excellent stuff!

As a sort of primer, try The Warwolf by Herman Lons. It is fictional but gives a good insight into the period. A really clean and free download here:

At 160-odd pages, not a long read.

It really is good, turns out that the author was a very interesting guy as well. More on him later ...

Ciao!
