hi all

day off so went out with her in doors to frome model center .. and got me a few bits n bobs ... nothing special to report there

but then went to trowbridge .. not by choise mite i add .. but had to say yes as the misses want to see a shop there ..

by chance found a book shop called super books ! .. a sort of pile them high and slae them not so cheap ... when you visit that kind of shop you usualy get a continueing pile of rehashed books .. the same book reprinted several times in different formats .. a3 then a5 then a2 .... you know ...

well today...... and much tomy amazment thay actualy had a book i have never seen befour
