White Poppies

Annoyingly the flu jab on Friday meant I lost two hours in London in which I would have gone (probably walked) to the Quaker centre in Euston to pick up a white poppy, the ones from the year before last being lost or decomposed.

I would have had to wait the best part of an hour to get the train to St P, or spent that time getting there, so instead I took a circuitous route to Oxfam on Strutton Ground.

In theory I could go to London on Tuesday to pick one up, and it's not as if there aren't exhibitions to see, but it feels a little, er, overkill. I am wearing it virtually.

On the other hand, I bought a copy of Survivor for £1.99, which as far as I can see is at least £48 less than it should have been, and looks like a relatively mint British paperback, too. There is much interesting 1970s and 1980s sf in this shop.
