An afternoon walk in search of reading material, which is thinning out. An Updike book would be nice, to commemorate the writer´s death, but actually anything we both like would do. We stop at the second hand shop, a place so crammed full of clothes, books and other things that it´s almost impossible to examine the wares. Sign on door says back in five minutes. So round the corner to the charity shop called Curiosity Killed the Cat. They don´t have many books but we are treated to the owner of the crowded second hand shop of our first stop, (a girl who is Georgian or Bulgarian?) telling the woman behind the counter of a male stripper group which they both agree would be much better entertainment than the pub.

Back to the crowded shop on the way back from our walk, but the back in five minutes sign still in place. Perhaps someone else is hearing about the male strippers.
