I have received a book that belonged to my grandmother. It is entitled “Enquire Within Upon Everything”; this edition was published in 1906.
As promised, it contains information on everything.

Some of my favourites are: a recipe for turnip wine, the rules of whist, and how to apply leeches for (very questionable) medical treatment.

I’ll be tooting excerpts from random pages.

This book was given to my grandmother in 1909, while she was living on Liugong Island in Weihaiwei #Oldbooks #BookOfEverything

General complaining: The cat helped the dog get to a bun with raisins in it. The dog ate the whole thing. She seems to be ok now, I called the pet poison hotline. I gave her hydrogen peroxide to make her vomit and the whole bun came up. Need to monitor her for 2 days but think she will be ok.

Then just now the dishwasher threw an error code. Very annoying evening all around.
