It's been a hopeless winter, and garage sale season is a little late getting underway. But it all starts this Saturday at the Good Samaritan Rummage Sale in Kensington, followed by, well, any number of other sales around and about the city (and here begins the pain, how to be simultaneously at 5 or 6 promising sales as they all start)...at the flea market this past weekend the dealers are discussing it, there's been a dearth of garage sales so far and everyone needs to replenish their stock. Competition will be fierce.
This year I'll be extra early, pack a sleeping bag and a thermos full of coffee, probably I should look for a stove or something so I can make my coffee fresh, there will be an hour or two of waiting in line. But it's all anticipation....

The Ossuary at Sedlec. One of the highlights of living in Prague, and who better to interpret it than Jan Svankmajer!

A light read, but, like the last book by Henry Miller, far too preoccupied with Beaver. Nonetheless an interesting life - although a more succinct and factual account can be found in the Wiki.

And you know, whatever they do in the US, we're never too far behind. Read more here (The New Statesman).
