Reminded that this time last year the Met office warned of the country becoming Godzilla

Extreme heat warning issued by Met Office. Outline of the UK heat map looks a bit kaiju-ish. So some complete fool has drawn kaiju features on it and written SKREEEEONK.

@aaron I'm never sure how amazing the thickening agents are for your body, but by jove I used to love a HBE (street slang for Hard Boiled Egg). We have tofu scramble and an occasional ESS (Egg Salad Sandwiches), but I long for the sweet embrace of an HBE. Paella, Fiorentina pizza, salad Niçoise, scotch egg. Looks like I could probably reverse-engineer some Huevos rancheros from this aswell. Exciting!

“How’s it coming, Daniel?”
“I’m almost afraid to say it.”
“Don’t be silly.”
“It’ll sound arrogant.”
“Just go ahead.”
“I think this might be my finest work.”

@Heliograph Image is of a landscape view of a modern metropolis - lots of silver buildings, skyscrapers and the like - shot across a calm water over some netted posts (perhaps fishing or catching bay creatures). It's sunset or sunrise and the light is catching the tops of the buildings, reflected in the water.

You know how people say "they don't make 'em like that anymore" when it comes to music. And that absolutely everyone thinks the best music came out when they were in their mid-teens. Well. I've just fallen down a rabbit-hole of albums that are 30 (THIRTY!) years old this year. And I am about to bombard my timeline with them in a total wave of nostalgia. Brace yourselves (or mute). 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" #Eels #Medieval #history

This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote a while ago. Here’s an excerpt!

To learn more about how much individual eels were worth, see my website!

historiacartarum.org/eel-rents

Table showing cost of items in the 14th C., and the equivalent value in eels.  2 doz. eggs costs 1d, or 6 eels A gallon of the best ale costs 1.25d or 8 eels 1 sheep costs 1s 5d, or 106 eels 1 cow costs 9s 5d, or 706 eels A 2-story cottage costs £2, or 3,000 eels  As far as I know, no one was buying cottages with eels. This is more to give you a sense of relative costs. But wouldn't it be interesting if you could buy a house with eels?  This chart leaves unanswered the question: "What about the next-best ale?" and suggests and entire spectrum of ale gradations. Which makes good sense, of course. But also, you certainly wouldn't want to spend your eels on inferior ale!
