I'm very much loving this little reminiscence. I had this one for my whole primary journey, with more and more stickers added over the years.

Today's adventures have led to an unexpected trip to a rather lovely tube station.
Photo of the waiting area of an old tube station. The platforms for both directions are visible from the middle. There are seats with lights pointing up to the ceiling.

@raynewman.bsky.social If you haven't read this yet I'm recommending it to you. It could loosely be described as a psychological horror but it's better than that.

This is from a book we bought on our travels yesterday
Quote: no need to go out of England for adventure. Adventure is never anywhere unless we make it. Chance releases it; some unexpected incidence of little things. The trouble is to know it in time, when we see it. If we are not ready for it then it is not there.

I'm a convert, I don't know why I didn't listen earlier. I had no idea either that she lived and worked in High Wycombe. Is there any bad Elizabeth Taylor or should I just read them all?

My husband and dog were robbed in the 'dog most like its owner' round of the dog show.

What do you want?
Close up photo of the face of a dog, that is standing on a sofa, very close to the photographer. The dog is a black and beige lurcher, with a thick brown collar on. They are looking like they expect something but it's impossible to know what.

Very much enjoying (but not understanding) this inner in my Japanese copy of Head. Did English-language copies have this?

I've been really impressed by the AF beer options in the Netherlands. This is a typical selection of all the bars we've been in, even the small ones.
