Do you think the dead bees were meant as decoration, or were they simply _there_? Either way, that does sound disturbing, at least to me.

Where do I find bergamot?

I wish I knew. I'm familiar with it as the flavouring agent in Earl Grey, of course, but I've never seen it as the citrus itself. Reading the wikipedia article makes me think you're wanting the essence, which is reportedly used in confections and, especially in Italy, in marmelade.

The bookshop sounds excellent. I've not been in a place like that in a long while, alas.

I'm glad that The Legend of Korra is continuing to hold up.

And I continue to feel there are historical references I'm not getting, which means they're doing worldbuilding right.

Indeed. I'm always impressed on the rare occasions that my dreams seem to have references to things that, in the world of the dream, are completely normal, in such a way that, when I wake, I don't say to myself "That was absurd" but "That obviously made sense there".

...the last couple of days have involved something more like sleep than not and that's a leg up on the way I headed into last weekend.

I'm glad to hear this.

Hurrah for glow-in-the-dark T-shirts. I didn't have glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling as a child, but whoever had this room before me put some up there. They're not in constellations, but I've never had the heart to remove them.
