growing up on the stead
In Eastern Canada, we are up to 11 h and 20 m of sun. This number is tantalizing b/c 50 / 50 isn't far off. Its a magical thing equal daylight and dark.
I'm not alone. Religions and cultures through history have celebrated this event.
Day is cold and brisk but full sun. This gets followed by snow/ rain / sleet for early in the week for us.
On Netflix, I finished Season 1 of ' Peaky Blinders '. Set in early 20 th C Birmingham, the Peaky Blinders are a family run blackmarket and everything else business. I think that the name derives from the caps or tams that they wore w/ a slight brim. And razor blades decorating the lower edge ( for slash and burn, mostly slash ).
I tried to avoid starting b/c its 16 episodes spread over 2 seasons.
If I got hooked, thats a lot of watching.
Oops ! it happened.
A little rough and black in a lot of places - its a glimpse of steel / shipping life for the not-barons of industry. Workers rights promoted by Communists play a side role in the events.
Men drop by after work to wager their pennies on off track betting
before heading home. Or lunch is a run to Peaky Blinders to place a bet
