Even though I’ve put today’s date in the title of today’s entry – there is nothing really special to report about today. We had a nice breakfast of pancakes and whiled away a bit of time watching the starlings on the bird table, and the pigeons trying to get on to the table. You don’t need to worry about the pigeons.
That’s because the starlings are such untidy eaters, that portion of the food always ends up on the ground, some of which the pigeons devour.
All done for breakfast, we got ready to go out. Not far, barely a five minute walk to the Methodist church hall, where the Cats Protection League were holding a 2nd hand book sale. They had their entire stock of books out, I’m not sure, possibly 10 – 15 trays of books? I spent a good bit of time browsing them. No Science Fiction as far as I could see, with the exception of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. I bought Mort, I recall it being one of the funniest books I had read in a while the first time round.
I also bought Bill Bryson’s Life and time of the Thunderbolt Kid, which I think may be a biography, but I’m not sure. I like his work, I find him quite funny. I’ve not read Thunderbolt Kid before, so am looking forward to that. We also had a cup of tea and a piece of cake, it all helps to fill their coffers, and the CPL in Gosport do a very good job.
Beyond that, I went and had a browse around the emporium on Stoke Road. I do like places like that. I didn’t buy anything, but you never know what you are going to find there, so I often have a look though the window, but this was the first time I had been in side.
Getting home, I settled down for what I can only describe as a very lazy afternoon. Reading and trying not to fall asleep, and occasionally failing in that. I think I’m going to a bit busier tomorrow to make up for that. Plus, if I have time I may try and get out for a walk – which I didn’t do today. Like I said, lazy!
