A copy of "Diary of an Invasion" by Andrey Kurkov.

Picked this up in the charity shop today. Looks interestingm

Some more Ypres highlights

I'm in Ypres. Here are some highlights of my trip so far.

We had that! My brother bought a train set, that came with it. I remember listening to it as a kid

Whoever it was on here i saw recommend this album, you have my sincere thanks

Also picked this photo of a rather dapper chap.

Today's charity shop purchase was a copy of this for £3.

Bad Ambassador remains one of my favourites of his. When that guitar solo kicks in....

Count me in as a new subscriber. And not just because its cats on ships.

Take corgi out of bath

Sometimes you get an infestation

An infestation of bath Corgis seems a serious issue. Unfortunately the leaflet ends on a cliffhanger about what to do about them

The plague of Bath Corgis.

I just found a useful public information booklet. Presumably made by the government in the 10 year olds room.

Is that the book which claims they switched Olympic for Titanic?

My office today is the war room from Dr Strangelove

That's fantastic! I can read it ok but for the image I'll message you my email address.

I believe this is the link to log in: www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail?R=EDB...

It's page 3 of the 27th April 1942 edition I'm looking for, I believe there's an article and photo relating to a man named Glyn Harries.

Thanks in advance!

Don't suppose anyone on here has a Toronto library card? Looking to view an article from the Toronto Star in July 1942 but I can't access it...

A colourful pie chart with numerous segments. To the right are a list of countries with a number in brackets next to each name, indicating the number of entries in the corresponding segment of the pie chart.

What I've been working this evening...

Won't be driving but I've had a look at your route, might consider it for next time.

Happy New Year, folks 🥂🍾🥃

Trip booked to Ypres in late March next year. I've got a few plans in mind, but I'm open to any recommendations. Let's have them - what should I see, where should I go?

You're top of the list

I still have a portable microfiche reader in my attic.

Today's charity shop purchase. An absolute steal at £2.

Someone nice purchases at the charity shop today.

Now a burned-out empty shell.

A hardback copy of the book "Recording Scotland" by Oliver and Boyd "in association with THE PILGRIM TRUST". The cover features an illustration of St. Monarch Kirk.

Today's charity shop purchase was this rather lovely volume. Published in 1952 and featuring many illustrations of locations around Scotland. Worth paying a little more than I usually would have for a charity shop book.

"Bonnie purple mountain..."

I'm rather fond of Troon memorial.

They literally cannae stop

Time to head for Dumfries and Galloway then...
