The bookshop in the market which I visited at the weekend. Look how cosy and inviting it looks, though its just a concrete lock up. Diane and Nicola ran the New York marathon in winds of 75mph yesterday, freezing cold and had to wait 4 hours to start - oh I don't envy that. But they now have the sense of achievement, now that its finished and I guess that's part of the deal. Well done to both, we tracked them on the NYC Marathon app - isn't new technology great? And the App sits alongside the books on our cultural shelves. I like looking for poetry that I have read but don't possess and occasionally they have some good things - but they don't stay on the shelves long. And so now the working week has begun, yesterday I did indeed see a flock of murmuring starlings, unfortunately they were a distance off and I had to be somewhere else - but I will stay on the lookout. Happy Monday!
