Ah, the Black Friday footwear sale! Men's Size 10: 123 items found! Men's Size 10 Wide: 2 items found.

Not with it today. Slept an hour later than usual. Forgot my wife was going to work & bought unnecessary food. Then scrambled to get ready for a meeting that's been moved later.

If anyone else wants to see a guy with a beard talk to camera about Medieval Transport for an hour, have I got the video for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdguh1D-fOk
Bonus: around 4min there's a great graphic of Areas Of Britain More Than A Day's Walk From A Navigable River!

Solid meetings from 8:30AM-12:30AM then 1:30PM-4PM today. Not so terrible but would be nice to get something actually done.

(At present they're just covering a tiny fraction of the cost of safety measures and lost revenue from renting out buildings)

Beginning to wonder if Vibram are selling out #running

Ha! They may think I'm "obsessive" about food instructions, but this said Stir Halfway Through Cooking and I actually did it at 9 minutes out of the 20 #daredevil

Every morning I ask 6yo whether he wants toast, muesli or porridge for breakfast. Every day he thinks carefully for 1-2 minutes and says "porridge". He gets absolutely furious if I make porridge without asking him first. #parenting
