Chelsea to pick up this second hand Liatorp. Habemus shelves!
Now I need another one to place on the left side (and hide those ghastly holes from the previous shelf solution).
“What reconciles me to my own death more than anything else is the image of a place: a place where your bones and mine are buried, thrown, uncovered, together. They are strewn there pell-mell. One of your ribs leans against my skull. A metacarpal of my left hand lies inside your pelvis. (Against my broken ribs your breast like a flower.) The hundred bones of our feet are scattered like gravel. It is strange that this image of our proximity, concerning as it does mere phosphate of calcium, should bestow a sense of peace. Yet it does.
With you I can imagine a place where to be phosphate of calcium is enough.”
(Extract from “And our faces, my heart, brief as photos”, by John Berger)

Forsythias and camelias are out; cherry trees and magnolias almost there. Derby popped for a visit; he is our neighbour’s ginger cat and a while ago he spent a lot of time on our doorstep – we later discovered his owners had been away and he was just lonely. He’s a cutie. Diesel hates his guts though. :)
Strawberry tarts (Lidl), creamy white chocolate Moser Roth (Aldi), ciabatta with bacon (homemade), “polish” wafers (Lidl). The tarts and wafers are not too sweet (wafers tasted of my childhood; can’t remember last time I had one) and the ciabatta from Lidl bakery is so good you need to get there early before they sell out.
