What could be better than spending some time in the company of a Iced Americano? Well, there are far worse ways to kill time LOL.

Spangled
I recently acquired this nice little Half Dollar coin, in time for some sort of celebration the Americans are having. It's a big deal for our transatlantic cousins apparently LOL.

Rarity
It's not very often these days I willingly, or otherwise, get to visit Reading.
The town has certainly changed these past few years. Some changes are positive, and sadly a great many not so. There's a lot of empty shop units, and those that are still occupied seem quite devoid of actual customers.
Plus of course nearly at every turn there's people begging and also evidence of a lot of rough sleeping.
If this is what "success" looks like in 2026, I'll have none of it thank you very much.
Anyway, here's a selection of hopefully uplifting pictures. (Since the Bayeux Tapestry now on- temporary- display in London, I thought I'd take another look at the Victorian replica held at our local museum.)
