Moon over the chimney pots

Another frosty night, maybe slightly less so than yesterday. Mostly inside this morning catching up on photos, poems and other odds and ends. I must write something for the Creative Writing u3a Group which meets again on the Island of Kerrera on Tuesday. 

After lunch I walked down town to Screwfix, to collect a reel of door/window seal I'd ordered and to exercise the joints. Chilly, but a wonderfully blue sky and though I took several sea and mountain pictures, my Blip today is looking the other way, catching the moon just before it disappeared behind a tree.

A book came in the post for me today - 'The London Nobody Knows', by Geoffrey Fletcher. Originally published in 1962, this is a Penguin paperback from 1965. For a book that's almost 60 years old it's in excellent condition and has probably hardly been read, though its somewhat faded state suggests that it's been stuck on a bookshelf all that time!  I also received a poetry book recently; 'Nadja - The Complete poems', a 2020 reprint of all her poems. Most of them were originally published in the early 1920s.

My extra today is a label from a bottle of moisturising shampoo which I picked up yesterday. Imagine being in the bathroom for two weeks!
