The writing is on the wall!

I almost did a picture of my jacket spud - cheese and beans - but I got distracted and it looked quite awful with soupy cheap beans (not Heinz), gooey cheese streaked with margarine rivulets and it looked more like a road accident or a pile of sick. Yuck!

I noticed an earlier quote walking through Touchwood on my way home but missed it. The one I pictured was the next one near John Lewis. Who reads them stuck up there! I only noticed because I was desperate for a blip! What did it mean anyway?

I googled 'Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher' when I got home and discovered it comes from a poem called 'The Tables Turned' and in it, a man tells his friend to stop reading loads of books with dusty pages, forget them and get outside to learn from real life outside instead.

'Books! 'tis a dull and endless strife:
Come, hear the woodland linnet,
How sweet his music! on my life,
There's more of wisdom in it.

And hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
He, too, is no mean preacher:
Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your teacher.'

Interestingly, there are no bookshops in Touchwood at all these days. There is an Apple store and a John Lewis though among other things and there is a cinema on the top. Touchwood want to buy the land the council house is on to expand! Business must be booming!

Track? I might as well stick with Pink Floyd who always say the right thing - Another brick in the wall
