Treated myself to a pastry and a browse in the local #secondhand bookshop/cafe where they have a wall of "things found in books". Train and bus and theatre and gig tickets; an Open University acceptance letter from the late 70s; business and playing and post- cards.

Also treated myself to a book: a collection of New Scientist essays on Nothing (for less than the cost of the pastry). The first of which was about the big bang, and now I'm feeling uncomfortably aware that we live on a planet, in a universe. Which is frankly bonkers.
@tlohde this is why I like astro as a field of work: constant reminder of this. I feel like it really changes one's thinking ...
