28/02/16: Galsworthy (North London Hospice)

North London Hospice, Whetstone. This three-volume Forsythe Saga tempted me for a few seconds, but I have heard that it's a somewhat turgid read. Jaws, meanwhile, races along. The latter could once be seen in every charity shop in Britain. These days, however, copies are rather scarce.

21/02/16: Easy Rider (North London Hospice)

North London Hospice, Whetstone. The iconic 1969 road movie starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. The above viewer's favourite song on the soundtrack is "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf. Mine is "Wasn't Born to Follow" by The Byrds.

14/02/16: Mask (Barnardo's)

Barnardo's, Whetstone. This creepy mask (£1.49) was described on the label as "Endless fun!" That's not quite the same thing as "Serious fun!" (see HERE for details). I did not buy it, but I did buy a hardback book – Play On: Now, Then and Fleetwood Mac: The Autobiography by Mick Fleetwood with Anthony Bozza. The man at the till told me that Mick is a great drummer, a great backing singer and the one who binds Fleetwood Mac together.
