  6. Just finished How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu, a dreamlike, unsettling and life-affirming exploration of what it means to be human, framed through the lens of a mysterious viral pandemic. Mix in immortal beings, interstellar travel and a talking pig and you have a heady mix that will stay with you for a long time. #Scifi #reading #CharityShopFinds

  8. I love a good charity shop.
    And charity shops on holiday are somehow even better.
    Such treasures! Well, they are to me anyway.

  13. Today's charity shop Puffin finds (from Hereford's superb Oxfam bookshop).

    Both new to me, I read half of The Twelve And The Genii on the bus home, what an absolutely lovely book about a boy who finds some old toy soldiers in the attic, which turn out to have belonged to the Brontë children.

  14. And since we were out and about, a trip to the charity shop was in order. Another Jackie Gleason to add to the library. A bit of cleaning and protective sleeves, then I'll give it a spin.

    ... what they say about the album...

    "Jackie Gleason Plays Romantic Jazz" is a classic lounge and easy-listening album from 1955, capturing Gleason’s signature lush orchestral sound. Known for its smooth arrangements and romantic themes, it was designed to evoke an elegant, nostalgic atmosphere. Perfect for unwinding or setting a relaxing mood.

  19. Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass
    Volume 2
    Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono, Blue
    1963, Canada

    Well then, another of my charity shop finds. Great vinyl and cover condition, but I think I've determined that horns in the lead role are not necessarily my thing.

    ---

    "Volume 2" captures the vibrant flair of Herb Alpert’s early work with the Tijuana Brass, where the brassy exuberance of the '60s is on full display. It’s an album that boldly commands attention, even if it doesn’t suit every listener's taste. Its cultural significance in the jazz and Latin scenes, however, is undeniable—this one’s a cornerstone of the era.

  21. Much of what little aid is reaching Gaza ends up being sold on the black market at crazy prices. So I am asking you for money to send to a friend in Gaza to buy food and water for her family.

  22. Every now and again you see an album cover you like so much, that you don’t care what it sounds like…

  23. OMG look at the amazing things I found in the COOP's charity book bin! The puzzle is fantastically tacky and I will take it to puzzle with my family next Christmas. They love it, too. And I am currently listening to the first book of that Christmas series on the borrowbox app.

    Loving this vintage scarf I got from the British Heart Foundation charity shop. I’m getting into neck scarves, they used to make me feel like I couldn’t breathe but I’ve got past that #CharityShop #CharityShopFinds #bargain #vintage #VintageStyle

  26. I bought this indoor drone for £4 at a charity shop but discovered that the battery charger was missing. I'll need to jury rig a charger for its 300mAh battery in order to test whether it still works. It still had a voltage of 3.75V but the props wouldn't start and the LEDs just blinked.

    One of the 3 AAA batteries in the tilt sensing remote control was also leaking. The other two batteries have expiry dates of 2014 and 2019

  27. Wilhelm Furtwängler, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra – Death and Transfiguration (Strauss)/ Manfred Overture (Schumann) / The Moldau (Smetana) (1952)
