[12:01] Happy Birthday Shona!
Today's a holiday in the UK, in honour of Shonas birthday (it's also been hijacked by religious zealots who are claiming it's some "Easter" holiday as well). We went book shopping at the local second hand book store, "My Back Pages". I love second hand bookshops and this was my favourite sort, the kind that looks like it organically grew and consumed the surrounding shops. It's got little hidden corners and enclaves and staircases, all full of the most esoteric collection of books. I managed to snarf Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection, A Brief History of Time : The Updated and Expanded Tenth Anniversary Edition and, because it had related but different information, A Briefer History of Time. I've always wanted to read that book and, for £5, why wouldn't you! We also bought Shona a couple of books, one on squishing up plants to turn them fabric dyes and one on cooking fabulous meals with two pieces of off ham and a cabbage. We then retired home to do some hardcore reading!
