Trying to make up a Friday 5, for old time's sake
Realised that the title of this journal, 'Something like an agora, something like a salon' is possibly a bit outdated: these days I feel DW/LJ is more of a salon, and the agora/news on the Rialto aspect is much more on Twitter (maybe Facebook, but somehow that's not quite the same, possibly because of the family members and the people who post inspirational thoughts &/or quiz memes - 'What Unspeakable Horror from the Dungeon Dimensions are you?')

And, talking of inspirational thoughts, the one on my Yogi teabag tag this morning was particularly TWFU, but I have happily forgotten exactly what it was.

O Amazon, this is weird: in my book recs, an early novel by Faye Kellerman 'BA in Dentistry UCLA'. I suppose this might be pertinent if the fictional crime or its solution were tooth-related....

And, in further Dept of the, Did I Just See That? on my way home, outside the pub, I was passed by a lady who was either on her way to a Summer of 67 themed party, or a time-traveller from that year, in full hippy rig. Ah, the nostalgia. (All she lacked was the necklace of tinkly bells.)

Consumer complaint: O Marks and Spencer, how could you? I ordered online a mac for travel (I had hoped) which purported to have 4 pocketses. Now it has arrived I can only find 3, one of which is a rather small internal one, and the external two are not as generously proportioned as they looked in the picture. It's going back and it seems likely that Travelling Hedjog will again be wearing the increasingly shabby Next mac, which, however, has 4 pockets of decent size, 2 of them zippable.
