The fog uses it's stealth
and like a snake wraps it's coils around it's prey
squeezing the life force from within.
Devoured by droplets and mist
I succumb to the Night's servant.
Leaving my reality to decay.

Nebamun was a Egyptian scribe and grain-counter who died around 1350 B.C. He is now remembered for his tomb, in the necropolis at Thebes, and its painting - eleven of them (including this) is now on display at British Museum. This one depicts servants who bring offerings - desert hares, sheaves of grains and other. This was a common theme in Egyptian grave paintings.
There’s a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It’s a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With yo on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
It’s a lot like life
And that’s what’s appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life
They’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Come on master and servant
Choose your death, scoundrels!
Will you go to hell to redeem yourselves?
Or die in this life and redeem yourselves by becoming my servants?
Job 2:3 “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.”
The courtyard, or perhaps an atrium, stands empty. The columns reach upward but no longer have anything to support. In Pompeii “the upper classes mainly lived in domus, large houses sometimes covering an area of about 3,000 sq. m. The domus were usually based on the same main structure. The front door led into the atrium, a large central hall open at the roof. Around the atrium the other rooms of the house were located: the bedrooms (cubicula), the servants’ quarters, the dining rooms (triclinia) and living rooms.” In AD 79, over the course of two days, the lives of the wealthy and the common people changed forever. Mount Vesuvius revealed itself as a volcano, not as a peaceful mountain as the people thought. Up until that time, there was no word for “volcano”….

Near the kitchen, in the servant’s common area and sometimes in the servant’s room, bells were installed and labelled to match the room or master in which they rang. Each bell hung from a coil with a suspended pendulum and was attached to a copper wire that travelled throughout the house.

Job 1
Prologue
1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.
4 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom.
Job's First Test
6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."
8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."
9 "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied. 10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face."
12 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger."
Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 One day when Job's sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15 and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, "The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, "Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Today, I don't know what the theme must be I choose to showcase the outfit. So, I took random outfit from modern style. 😂
Looking from the east in the morning, the side entrance to Kersefontein. Everybody can and does use it now, not just the servants...
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.

Córdoba (Spain).

Here the Mezquita's Mihrab in all its splendor, indicating the qibla, or direction of prayer for the faithful. This is the crowning jewel of the expansion carried out by the great Caliph Al-Hakam II, during the height of Al-Andalus, the land of the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Eastern Roman Emperor, or Basileus, Nicephoros Phocas (Nicephorus II) sent Al-Hakam II fine mosaic glass of many colors, some covered with gold leaf, to decorate the new Mihrab of the expanded Great Mosque. A Greek master came to Cordoba to work for several years on the project, training the Caliph's artisans in his craft. In Arabic, this mosaic work was called fusaifisa.
The mihrab had been moved twice previously, as the Mezquita expanded to the south. Columns from the previous mihrab were re-used. Almanzor's later expansion to the east would put this jewel of the Ummayyad Caliphate out of center with the rest of the building, but to demolish it and build a new one was out of the question.
The inscirption in large letters reads: "(Allah) He is the knower of things hidden and manifest. He is the powerful one, he that is full of pity, the living one. There is no other god than him. Invoke him offering him a pure heart. Praised be Allah Lord of the Universe. Blessed be Iman Al-Mostainsir Bil-lah, favored by Allah, and the servant of Allah, Al-Hakam, Prince of Believers. Make him prosper, Allah, for the work of this sacred temple, which exceeds all other memorable constructions in its size, comfort and adornment. And the construction was concluded by his virtue and command. The blessing of Allah be upon Mohammed. And the peace. - The Iman Al-Mostansir Bil-lah, servant of Allah, Prince of Believers (May Allah favor him) commanded his freedman and Hachib Chafar-Ben-Baderraman (mercy on him Allah) carry out the construction of this temple and it was finished with the help of Allah under the supervision of Mohamed-Ben-Tamlih, Ahmed Ben Nasar, Jayd-ben-Haxim of the prefect's guard and of Motharrif."
Nearby, another inscirption reads: "In the name of Allah, the Merciful. Praise to Allah, who guided us to this place; we could not have been guided if it had not been by Allah! For this reason was sent the legate of our Lord with the truth. He commanded the Iman Al-Mostarsin Bil-lah, the servant of Allah, Al-Hakam, Prince of Believers (Allah protect him), his freedman and Hadrib Chafar Ben Abd-al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) to add to these, and this was built with the fear of Allah and with his aid. This was concluded in the moon of Dhu al-Hijjah of the year four and fifty and three hundred." (Hijri calendar: year 354, Justinian: 965 AD).

Aquí el mihrab de la Mezquita Omeya de Córdoba, indicando el qibla, o dirección hacia donde los fieles dirigen sus oraciones. Esta es la joya de la corona de la expansión llevada a cabo por el Califa Al-Hakam II, durante el esplendor de Al-Andalus, el país de los moros en la Península Ibérica.
El emperador romano de Oriente, o Basileus, Nicéforo Focas (Niceforo II) envió a Al-Hakam II un delicado mosaico de cristal de muchos colores, algunos cubiertos con pan de oro, para decorar el nuevo Mihrab en la expansión de la gran Mezquita. Un experto griego vino a Córdoba para trabajar en el proyecto que se prolongaría durante años, enseñando mientras tanto a los artesanos del califato su oficio. Este trabajo en mosaico es denominado en árabe fusaifisa.
El mihrab se trasladó dos veces en sucesivas expansiones. Se reutilizaron columnas del mihrab anterior. La expansión posterior de Almanzor hacia el este dejó este maravilloso mihrab fuera del eje central del edificio, pero se respetó.
La inscripción en letras doradas dice: "(Allah) Es el conocedor de las cosas ocultas y manifiestas. Él es el poderoso, el lleno de piedad, el vivo. No hay otro Dios sino Él. Invocadle ofreciéndoles un culto puro. Alabado sea Aláh Señor del Universo. Bendido sea el Imán Al-Mostansir Bil-lah, favorecido por Dios, siervo de Aláh, Alhaquem, Príncipe de los Creyentes. Prospérele Aláh, por la obra de este templo santo, que excede a toda otra construcción memorable en la amplitud para la comodidad. Lo que hay sobre ellos y sobre él de adornos. Y se concluó la construcción por su virtud y mandato. La bendición de Aláh sea sobre Mohoma. Y la paz. Mandó el Imán Al-Mostansir Bil-lah, siervo de Aláh, Príncipe de los Creyentes (ensálcele Aláh) a su liberto y Hachib Cháfar-Ben-Abderraman (compadézcale Aláh) disponer la construcción de este templo y se terminó con el auxilio de Aláh bajo la inspección de Mohamed-Ben-Tamlih, Ahmed Ben Nasar, Jayd-ben-Haxim de la guardia del prefecto y de Motharrif."
Otra inscripción cercana dice: "...Terminándose la construcción bajo la dirección de su liberto y Hachib Cháfar-Ben-Abd-al-Rahman... en la luna de Dzu-l-Hicháb del año cuatro y cincuenta y tres cientos." (354 de la Hégira, y 964 de J.C.).

This corner building was constructed in 1937- 1938 by Heinrich Schmid and Hermann Aichinger. It is called Bärenmühle and is near Nashmarkt. There is stone relief commemorating a bear fight, after the building was named.
A legend tells that a servant, Schwarzenegger predecessor, fought a bear, which attacked the owner of the mill. The servant fought off the bear until help arrived and the bear was killed. That was long before this house was build; around 1660. Admiral is a 1990's addition; I think it was a strip bar before that.

OH LOOK !!!! The servants quarters has received some updates a furnace a foundation, eleven computers for seven rooms. My Mind begs a question? How much finances could be raised if this building served to answer the question of how servants were housed and the life they lived in servitude of the day. (Possibly a trailer (KENT) could be used for staff working 5 months of the year.
