Finally getting around to sending my latest #poetry #book to the ALDL, so you'll soon be able to read it in Aberystwyth, Cambridge, Dublin, Edinburgh, Oxford, and... Wetherby. Or you can order your own copy from alexandervelky.com/doubtist-books. Posting tomorrow!

Got the metal detector out for a quick turn around the garden (for the first time in about 2 years). Very excited by this '50s/'60s aluminium Glaxo Fersolate tablets tin!
