Not a yarny post, but I took some time to unwind this afternoon, and went for a walk with kiddo (as per their request).

We stopped by a street library and found this cute lil book for them. They loooooove books.

Sometime, you need to put crafting on pause to enjoy the fresh (freezing) air outside, and add a little bit of whimzy to your life.

Now, back to the regular broadcast: working on my tunisian crochet shawl!!

the #eurostar departure area in #brussels now has a #bookexchange #littleLibrary! I had a lovely time browsing massive tomes with photos of Antwerp and Brussels while waiting for the train. There were only like a dozen books overall, so will try to bring a few the next time I pass through, hoping it's still there. Meanwhile in Dusseldorf, there are 29 #streetLibraries now: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/08/29-street-libraries.html

‘Ugly’ phone boxes that blight UK streets should be removed, says thinktank

The Care Factor by Ailsa Wild, published March 2021.

This is an almost real-time memoir of a very busy nurse from Royal Melbourne Hospital and associated characters during the first phases of the pandemic in 2020.

It's a powerful, empathetic glimpse into the challenges and superpowers of health care workers at the epicentre of the pandemic in this country.

I was largely insulated from the effects of the early pandemic in covid-free Canberra, so I found it really moving.

Brought to me by my always excellent local street library
