Today's breakfast podcast episode took place without breakfast. It seems I'm coming down with a cold and I'm missing an appetite. But I listened attentively to Tristan Hughes and his guests debate the origins of the wheel.

Good morning. Started the day with two podcasts. Now I'm looking through the On sale offers for next week while listening to epic organ music by Bach.

Good morning. Great breakfast podcast episode today about medieval England. And I realised that I know a lot about medieval England and too little about the Middle Ages in my own country...

Good morning. WW2 is not my favourite era in history - probably because in school we spoke excessively about the period - but I like stories about those extraordinary characters in key moments of history like Churchill and FDR

Good morning. Had a delicious simple breakfast. The motto of this day's breakfast podcasts: the ancient world.

Searching for some old recipes for cookies and cakes and the old german font is not easy to read. But still better than trying to read Sütterlin-skript...
