Good morning, and the larger fediverse beyond!

Let's make it a great week, yeah? I believe in you.

@Surasanji I got a lot started this week, cleaning, made some trips into town, lots of walking, im feeling great. This will be a good week

@freemo @Surasanji you didn't have to wear those big wood shoes when you did it did you?

@Absinthe

They do wear those shoes here, wood and all, but only for gardening.

@Surasanji

@freemo @Surasanji I guess people wear croc's in the US so what can I say :) They always look so heavy, I imagine you would get a good workout if you wore them all the time.

One of the living history places here does military encampment and some of the soldiers wear them as part of their gear.

@Absinthe

If you go out to the really remote areas you might even still find them wearing full dutch Garb. I haven't seen it personally myself but I do hear it exists still, just gotta find the remote farmer somewhere.

@Surasanji

@freemo @Surasanji not sure what that might look like, but I guess it could be interesting

@Absinthe @freemo You can usually find people who are way into past eras of their culture. All along the east coast there are people who role play the lives of colonial peoples.

@Surasanji @freemo I know, I have seen it. Love the different living history museums. I just don't think I have seen "Dutch"

@Absinthe @freemo There's a youtube channel I love that does like 17th Century cooking. It's amazing.

@Absinthe @freemo James Townsend and Sons, I think is the name.
