A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

Word of the Day is ‘tandsmør’, from Danish. It describes bread that is buttered so thickly you can see tooth marks in it after every bite. Its literal translation? ‘Tooth butter’.

Fly Agaric holds an important place in Irish Mythology.
In The Tain it was fed to slaves and their concentrated urine was drunk by Cùchulainn before he went into battle against Queen Medb’s army, to help him go berserk.

Eastern areas could also see over 100mm by Saturday night on latest high resolution model update. Really hoping this shifts back Southeast or it won’t be pretty.
