  Am listening to the first Bookshop Detectives book (Dead Girl Gone), and whoever was responsible for casting decided to go with an Ocker and a Pom as the narrators, which was certainly...a choice...for a book set in Havelock North.

  The past seven days were an absolute wonkbot of a week, three of which became full-on duvet days, and two of those involved pretty much nothing but sleep. What a pesky nuisance of a thing brains are when they decide to throw a bit of a snit. On the plus side, got some books read and saved power, so yanno, swings, roundabouts, yada yada. :)

  TIL about The Great Toronto Circus Riot™️ of 1855, whereby American clowns beat Canadian firefighters to a pulp at a local brothel, in retaliation their circus was ransacked/razed to the ground by a literal torch-wielding mob, aided and abetted in no small part by the local Orange Order, and then subsequently the entire police force of Toronto was sacked for collusion and corruption. I love history. :)
