Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking is in my wishlist thing (it's a link Waterstones website let you keep). I have it because Mr NAB kept buying me books as a surprise only to find out I'd already bought them before he could give them to me, so now books go on that list and I'm not allowed to buy them

Us Brits will show them how its done
British Empire isn't dead, we saved the world, rah rah rah
Yeah, this tracks.
We were talking more generally about attitudes in Britain between generations but Mr NAB said in passing last night "It's like there's a proportion of people want to go back to the days of the British Empire" - it does feel like certainly a lot of the older generations are harking back to a supposed glory day that never really existed, and what did exist of it was built on the back of a lot of poor, desperate and subjugated people both in Britain and across the world. -

After seeing an article about Michael Morpurgo releasing an "updated" version of Black Beauty (we'll not get into my feelings about Anna Sewell's name being NOWHERE on the cover of said updated version), it inspired me to reread it. It's a book I reread so much as a child and really loved.
I got a beautiful Chiltern Publishing hardback copy - anyone who likes a pretty book, they release gorgeous versions of various classics. Enjoy never having money again
So, starting Black Beauty tonight. -

That's awesome!
My "street name" story is a bit more macabre...the condo I lived in in Toronto for 15 years with my wife, sat next to a small street that had once been residential houses in the 1920's and 30's, but had since become the back alley and garage entrance to the parking for our condo bldg and the condo bldg next door...but the street sign was still up for the street it used to be...so imagine my surprise when one day I'm reading THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, which is about how infamous serial killer H.H. Holmes terrorized the 1893 Chicago's Worlds Fair and killed people in a house he had deliberately built to kill and dismember people and dispose of them with wicked inventions...well he eventually escaped Chicago and fled to Canada...Toronto more specifically and had a rental house on that little street where he continued to kill people (mostly young women) he was finally caught and arrested, by the Boston police a year later after fleeing Canada...so there I was reading the book and I stood up and looked out our window to the laneway below and saw where some of the final events of that book take place...it was a WILD ass moment.
That is indeed WILD!
