@st-just your beloved provincial backwater is in good company when it comes to firing a cannon daily, apparently

Now the biggest blockbuster revelation in this image, which eagle-eyed viewers may spot, is that Sydney also has one!!!!! I had to look this up because I've never heard of it - some old fort on an island in the harbour has a 1pm gun. I am champing at the bit to go see this as soon as I'm home.

Gutted! I'll have to go back next week. All I want is to see a cannon fired over a major city...

300 pages in now and The Tainted Cup is easily one of my favorite reads so far this year. 'Sherlock Holmes with all the dials cranked up several degrees in a biopunk fantasy empire organized around fighting regular kaiju attacks' turns out to be quite the page turner.

Between this and Foundryside now I'm kind of curious if Bennet just makes a habit of writing protagonists with magically-induced sensory issues, though.

#putting this on my tbr #(which I keep forgetting about and rereading another Malazan instead) #City of Stairs is one of my favourite books so it's strange I never thought to check out the author's other works

to be fair if I was xate yawa and saw baru had an opportunity to have cocaine I would go to great lengths to prevent that from happening

#baru cormorant #I would personally find a way to give Baru more cocaine #but I'm built different

I won't post photos until I check out, but my hotel here in Edinburgh is incredible. My room has a four-poster bed, incredibly high ceiling, a huge window, velvet drapes, gorgeous vintage furniture. Fairly affordable and the aesthetic is perfect.

The urge to bother my mutuals

Did the touristy stuff with the royal mile and visited the late queen's yacht. Way too crowded and blatantly tourist traps, but fun to haul two small children around. I'm getting such a good grade in friend-aunty, everyone (normal to want, possible to achieve, etc). I really adore those kidlets.

One of the visible signs of the abysmal situation with trans rights in the UK is that every public bathroom I've seen has had a sign warning that both male and female workers clean the facilities. Literally cannot imagine caring.

Edinburgh is a beautiful city though

Edinburgh is a surprisingly late-rising city. I set off from my hotel toward the centre and I walked for 1.5km before finding an open cafe.

This is the most Asian Small-Clawed Otters I've ever seen in one zoo habitat? Look at them hunting worms and gambolling. Adorable
