Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239.
Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens.
Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to.
5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning.
6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June.
Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss.
10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it.
1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama.
4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt.
7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime.
Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth."
Robert would have a great deal to say about this.
Robert does not have the energy.

Hot Take 🔥
Daredevil should be called Batman because he's blind and got a sonar ability, like a bat.
Ghost Rider should be called Daredevil, because he's a former daredevil who made a deal with the devil.
Batman should be called Ghost Rider, because he is ridin' on his dead parents' fortune.

Bukayo Saka has had a lacklustre season by his high standards, he has 16 G/A in all competitions (remarkably the same as Trossard and Martinelli).
However it’s more than:
Foden 15
Palmer 13
Gakpo 12
Doku 15
Watkins 12
Solanke 6
Cunha 11
Mbeumo 13
Garnacho 11
Wirtz 15
Bernardo Silva 8
Marmoush 9
Jarrod Bowen, the one West Ham fans tell me HAS to go to the World Cup over Saka? 17 G/A in nearly 400 more minutes.
Saka is having a season like this, whilst STILL out performing so many players in the league.
Class is permanent, he deserves the trophy come May.

“A video TREND in the United States by famous American content creator Myron Gaines:
An Israeli girle asks him: Do you believe the Holocaust happened?
Myron: Do you believe there is a genocide in Gaza?
Israeli woman: There is no evidence of that.
Myron responds: Well then—how do you expect the world to believe in the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were killed, even though it happened in a time without advanced recording and documentation technologies, while today you deny what is happening in Gaza, despite the world seeing it live, with sound and images?”
