There is a distinctive bird call that I have been hearing all over the city, and I thought I'd got some photos of the bird today, but they were out of focus...on a walk I passed an amazing 1950's picnic hamper in a charity shop window, with beautiful china plates and cups, bone-handled cutlery, etc.  After I'd gone passed I was kicking myself for not blipping it...so instead I have ended up with a feeble image of my charity shop purchases this week...finished the Michael Palin book today, & thought it was quite good.
