This is a new one to me. A child who was born in 1847 was baptised in 1853, some distance from where he was born. The clerk wrote in the margin:

"Bapt[ised] Hypothetically"

Apparently this is an option where it's uncertain whether the child had already been baptised or not.

In the 1921 census they're listed as married and when he dies in 1927 his second 'wife' is the informant and signs as 'widow of the deceased'. But when she goes to claim his army pension, the form gives her 'Relationship to Man' as "unmarried wife".

Never seen that before...

To do so is a criminal offence the same as taking a photograph.

I'd always assumed they were sat there in the public gallery with a sketch book.

But not the case.

Any rendering has to be done outside of the courtroom

A section from a mid-to-late 16th century will in which the testator leaves:

... to Hugh Davy myne Ewen bowe and my shaftes and to John Futter my Nephewe my stonebowe

A stonebow was a type of crossbow. The 'Ewen bowe' was a longbow made from yew.

🧑🏼‍🍳 Asked chef what the difference was between French vegetables & non-French vegetables to make it “French Vegetable Soup”…
… apparently it’s to do with the vegetables used; The 🇫🇷 tend to use different veg in their 🥣 than The 🇬🇧! #EveryDaysASchoolDay

Oooh. I've been learning French for, what, 37 years (how that's possible when I'm only about 28 is a mystery), and have only just come across the expression "entre chien et loup", which means twilight/dusk, and is really rather lovely, non?

Watching Volta a Catalunya - Bruno Armirail of Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale currently in lead. May be late to the party but didn’t realise Decathlon’s bikes are named ‘van Rysel’ as it is Flemish for ‘from Lille’, that being Decathlon’s HQ is and where Flemish is spoken - #everydaysaschoolday
