Sorry about the lack of new stuff
Two weeks into a ten week contract. In an office, doing things at a desk. Not feeling too much like doing blog stuff, not enough time somehow. Hopefully I will find the brain power to post some more before 10 weeks is up.
Currently reading A History of the Guillotine by Alister Kershaw. The writing style is a bit too arch for my liking. I'm not sure if 'arch' is the right term actually. Maybe it's just a bit smarty-snarky-sarcastic or something. Anyway, there's lots of interesting facts in it; like the big debate they had in the 19th century about whether a decapitated head continued to be conscious for any length of time. Grisly stuff. Nice cover.
