Books. I was in London, and... :-[

Which bookshop?

I want to answer "all of them".

Steven King, who wrote many of his 80s books in a drunken stupor, was once asked "how much do you drink, Steven?" King thought the question was exceptionally stupid and answered "all of it."

I missed most of them, I'm sorry to say, but Foyles and Waterstones, and a few along Charing Cross. And the WHSmith at Heathrow.

Stephen. Stephen. Stephen.

Bought an expanded "Always" soundtrack. Very, very good, in that understated John Williams way.

Groceries. Nothing exciting. This weekend, however, I'm thinking of buying a new mattress for my bed.

I did find some rather awesome peaches. I bought more than enough for a peach pie.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Still waiting on my side bars for the truck. Seller forgot to ship I think. Emailed them last night and they said they will resend asap.  :lol1:

Meh. I'm getting better at hauling my 56 yr old ass up in the cab at least.
