A thing about my bookaholic tendencies is I can sniff bargains. For Β£4 in a single second-hand shop today I got a hoard that would've cost me Β£97 cheapest for the same editions if bought online.

Sign the petition: Save Our Swifts
Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple Β£35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this β now theyβre planning to backtrack. Sign the petition ...
Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a Β£35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/ky2i

Anna Coleman Ladd was a neoclassicist sculptor but the carnage of World War I saw her divert from galleries to sculpting masks for 'the men with broken faces' - soldiers who had been badly disfigured in battle

The Possibilities are endless now ...
Crazy to think that Hinson apparently wrote this song aged 15 (but didn't studio record until decades later) - it's so sophisticated and moving.

Field with distinctive row of trees.
Rectangle shaped trees
Nice surprise today. These 'rectangle' trees can be seen from miles around locally and I frequently notice them. Anyway my brother has just informed me that it was my dad (who has just recently died age 98) who actually planted them. ππ³

Pendants around neck.
My spirituality is actually inclined towards Animism but I wear the St. Christopher's as my late father left me it, the Celtic Cross was a gift from my late mother and the rectangle is funerary jewellery containing some of soul-cat's ashes. So my pendants are actually memento mori/ancestral worship
