Thinking of returning to having a book group again... Monthly, but no commitment ie come to whatever book discussion you want. Every month or once in a while or once in a lifetime. Free, refreshments. Intros then discussion. Evening, live only. Any takers?

Again on the mask front... just a note of thanks to our customers to our customers who have - almost universally - honoured our "mask mandate" while waiting on the Government to catch up. Aside from people bringing their own, we have given out 800 in the last three months!

Thanks to all the anti-fascists in town today who stopped a large amount of far-right "God Bless Trump" demonstrators rallying. The right were pretty incoherent, conspiracy theory lot and there were scary moments when our Long Row was blocked at both ends, but all seems well now.

. But what about @woodsgregory who was Professor of Gay and Lesbian Studies at Nottingham Trent University from 1998 to 2013? Good to see @UniofOxford playing catch up.

We were thinking of having a refit and redesign, so here is an artist's model of the new look. We think asking people to step inside to see our books on the Soviet Union's Five Year Plan is a winner, and Stalin's cheery face can only do wonders for trade.

Good to see the 200-300 school students in the Market Square earlier, on strike to stop climate breakdown. It's international, and they will save us.

Meanwhile over the border in Derbyshire... Say it loud and say it clear, refugees are welcome here. On the other side of the road, racists. Behind us and with us refugees.

Congratulations to one of our staff, Simon, who is marrying his partner Sebnem in about an hour. It's the first local non-reg. office wedding since weddings were allowed and of course not everyone is able to attend. Some of us will be there on Zoom! A wedding to remember
