No picture from me today. I did take a picture but I had to scrap it as it was about as blurry as my vision is without my glasses onKeith

"Indentures" can be many types of records (contracts, agreements, arbitration records to name just a few) generally between two but sometimes more parties. This one is a settling of debts between Richard II of England and the Earl of Northumberland. In a nutshell the earl was owed a bunch of money by the king, and this is a record of an agreement whereby he agreed to quit all claims in return for a one-time lump sum payment of £700. As part of the deal the earl also had to hand over a prisoner he was holding, one Payton Heryng, who had been a thorn in Richard's side for quite some time. I would not have wanted to be Mr. Herying once the king got hold of him.
They get their name from the jagged edges on the copies. Three copies would have been written on one parchment which would then have been cut apart along jagged (indented) lines. They could then easily be validated by holding them together to see if they line up. An early form of a secure document.
Here's my transcript of the whole shebang. How's your Anglo-Norman?

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Nothing new as far as gear, I used the Invicta Razor coupled with MWF for a wonderful one pass shave. Hot shower was my prep with the Neutrogena Face Scrub. I have been set on doing two pass shaves but today decided one was enough. Who was I try to impress? Oh yea, that guy in the mirror holding that knife against my neck. I was able to do some mental j-jit-zu on his ass this morning, beating him into submission. My face thanked me for my aggressive tactics this morning since it was a little irritated from the shave the day before. I was trying out a not often used razor and got a little burn. I splashed on some homemade toner made of Tea Tree Oil, Glycerin and Water, finishing with some Clubman. Wow, great feeling. Now, if I can correct all the other problems in life so easily.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

WEDNESDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: GENCO

A simple quick and close shave, today. The Eastern European creams and splashes are great for my skin and shaving style.

Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?
