I wasn't going to leave the house today. 34⁰ again.

Then a friend messaged me to say she has four ballet DVDs and she's in town right now.

So I left, collected the DVDs, kisses her feet, then got a back rub. Now, I'm waiting for god-tier munch.

#BooksDayOut

Day wrap-up
===

-Out early for a walk and some morning sun.
-Massage from new person. Rough but good.
-Go to hardware store to buy new lock barrel. Euro cylinder, 35/35, 3 star, anti snap, £50!!! Oooouch.
-Stumbled into art gallery. Met two artists; one all over the place, the other very abrasive. I got some advice from one of them. Good advice? Time will tell.
-Art supply store for new brush for acrylics, and advice on paints
-Left with brain swimming in info
-Charity store. All Of Suzie Izzard's performances for £3, some cutlery for 80p, including a great stick (don't ask)
-Home. Get changed, cooked late lunch, ordered groceries, ate lunch.
-Finished painting. Eh 🤷🏽‍♀️
-Reading queer middle school book. Very adorable.

#BooksDayOut

I joined a new #library in the neighbouring county because their libraries are closer. They made it known that their systems are far inferior to what I'm used to.

I asked if the books are as good. They said yes. I fail to see the problem. They showed me around and introduced me to the outside #reading area.

I fell in love. 

#BooksDayOut

Faerie-tale-esque home in rural Britain.

Surrounded by abject #poverty.

We really are a nation of failed #socialists. Nej? 

#BooksDayOut

A beautiful, well behaved border collie who didn't want to play but did want her presence known.

I hear you, honey. You lead, I'll follow.

And of course I found #dogs to play with.

This beautiful red collie made my day. We don't deserve #dogs.

#BooksDayOut #dogsofmastodon

An #oldFashioned #CandyStore , or #sweetShop , in rural UK.

I asked the old boy for what I wanted in ounces and he was so happy, he gave me a steep discount.

I have no words 

#BooksDayOut

While on Book's Day Out, I found a #gorilla wearing a #Weddingdress

This is normal. This is fine. I am in love. YOU ROCK IT, BROTHER! 

#BooksDayOut

I found a chippy (fish and #chipshop, not carpenter) and got some delightfully-wrapped fries.

An asshole #birb wanted some so of course he did.

Greasy goodness. 

#BooksDayOut

I found a chicken wire dood today while having #coffee. Today was a good day to caffeine.
