Wiki : Polyarchy I’m finding this intro to Choniates work quite interesting. An earthquake in 1162? A comet in 1182 that FORETOLD the end of Andronicus I Comnenus?

Dave the Postie has just been. Nice bloke! And I’ve received a gift from someone who knows how much I love crows and ravens. He knows about the crow we rescued and raised. We called him Jakey. Something to do with the Shawshank Redemption that’s slipped my mind. Shrug! Happy vibe :o)
