I’ve held back on updates for a while. Right now life has more moving parts than I’d normally like and it’s using time and energy that I’d otherwise put into this page. Mostly, I post to share these volumes because I worry that otherwise they might disappear from the world entirely, which would be a great shame I think. Just wanted anyone who actually keeps up with the page to know that I will upload more parts as time allows 😊

Apologies on the delay getting more pages up. My employer has been, shall we say, difficult. One of my dearest friends unexpectedly passed away and my car broke down. It has not been the greatest of months. I will however endeavour to make a new post by the weekend x S
I have attached my current mood but also one my favourite artworks.

Today I happened to look up one of the many adverts, which can be seen in June 1880 02, for ZOEDONE, a non alcoholic beverage. Interesting, and humorous 😁 I especially liked this quote “we procured a bottle of ginger- beer at two-pence. Into this we scraped off the phosphorous from half-a-dozen of Bryant and May's safety matches. We stirred the whole with a rusty iron key we got out of the stable, and finally we produced a mixture which resembled zoedone so exactly that we at once threw it away”
