I was so enraptured by this spontaneous fountain that I got soaked while just watching it.
A soy sauce container lying in the street. I wonder how many of these are thrown away each day. I've seen them washed up on beaches all over the world.
Pre-decimal pricing.
Encouraging, gentle marketing.
Too bad that internet and supermarket shopping killed off companies like this.

When I lived in Germany, I would often hear these words, even when buying something trivial. The shopkeeper was offering to gift-wrap my purchase. It's worth watching the deftness of how they do it; it's art in itself.

After work this morning I was famished so knocked this up for lunch. There's enough left for tomorrow.
While reflecting on speed, accuracy, and efficiency on World Typing Day, here's an Apple 2nd generation wireless keyboard that I rescued from the bin. It looks quite elegant, takes up little space, and pairs nicely with my Mac, my phone, and even my radio (no clue how that happened!).

But in truth, nothing compares with the venerable IBM Model F keyboard - sometimes called 'The King of Click'. If anyone ever makes a bluetooth converter for one, I might even buy it!

I hope you all had an excellent lunch too 👍

Spare a thought for the youngest member of the bookshop who would have had the job of stamping each book sold. It was common even until the mod-twentieth century. You can still find the odd bookseller now who still does this.

Here's an excerpt from Elizabeth David's third book, Italian Food from 1954. She revolutionized British cooking as it emerged from post-war rationing. Simplicity and good ingredients seem to sum up her approach.
A couple of lads were playing on jet skis on the river. They looked quite skilful - he drove off in this position for several hundred meters.
More cabbages, and more apples. And a nice red capsicum for a splash of interest, with green lentils for a bit of protein.
