Dear Reader, January that jumping-in-a-cold-pool-feeling as term begins, even if kids as always nice. Long hours, and early mornings. Up at four twice this week to try and make things work: though in truth today I managed somehow to sleep in till six. Thanks, as always, to the multiple linkers: Amanda, Invisible, Chris S, Joan, Ricardo, Wade and others. I’ve put the very best contributions below to the posts from this month: the cream follow here. Perhaps my favourite is Mike Dash’s come back on Germany, but I also enjoyed progress on the Baum Rappit and Chris with a window poem of her own.
This next month we have Victorian cannabis habits, Iron-Toothed Tom and the Kingdom of the Assassins.
Have a great February!
