Today: was productive, worked on the exam for my students, then biked across the river to the Free Store that is open on Wednesdays in the big riverside squat. My friend S. (the one with the twins) now more or less runs it, so I popped in to say hi (and ended up leaving with a few things, including a Bert and Ernie stuffed toy duo, since Fionn is really into Sesame Street now and demands "Elmo's Song!" twenty times a day, some cute clothes for Fionn as well, a thermal wear super warm hat for me--maybe to use if I ever go visit shum_listvi in the winter? and a gothy-looking candle/candleholder).

Here is S. locking up the free store



and this is her car, now with extra flair



her older daughter Robin in the car (Random note: Robin has this toy called "the mandala-maker" so she makes mandalas for Fionn)



The store closed at 5, we hung out there for a bit afterwards, then she drove home, and I biked home...but on the way and then later back home with Fionn I did something interesting that I'd been meaning to try out with my camera...
