A Morning Stroll

[poliphilo]

Ailz didn't have the energy to drive into Manchester for the Tuesday Talk, so- it being a sunny day (and we haven't had many of those recently)- I walked into Oldham to buy butter and croissants and exchange my library books. The library has a new display of big, handsome photographs in the lobby, showing people of all ages and races enjoying library facilities- something fewer people will do less of in David Cameron's Big Society. 

I walked home by way of Alexandra Park

Bizarrely had Ethiopian "asylum seeker" (economic migrant) ask me if I'd buy him a bottle of vodka "but any booze would do". What is the Amharic for "Eff off"?

Things have moved on from the days when it was "the price of a cup of tea".
