In Town

 We were down at the Meeting House for half the morning, waiting for a scaffolding tower to be delivered. I went for a wander while Ailz stayed in position. I had a picture to be framed- but when I got to the framing shop it had a notice o the door saying it had ceased trading on the first of the month. To cover my disappintment I carried on up the road to Camilla's fabulous second hand bookshop by the town hall and bought an Edith Sitwell first edition and a collection of translations from the medieval German of the poems of Walter Von Vogelweide, the minnesinger, published in 1896 (with illustrations.) I think I like Sitwell. I know I like Von Vogelweide.....

The tower, when it arrived, was packed in pieces in it's own little pushcart. It'll be needed by the person who'll be installing our new hearing loop on Monday....

We went for lunch at the Pasargad, the Persian restaurant that has replaced the Dom- where we used to host the Death Cafe.  It's very good.
