Beheading the King of Hay
Just heard that the chap reading the proclamation in this video, just before King Richard is beheaded, has died. Paul Harris was a bookseller in Hay-on-Wye, who started out working for Richard Booth and later set up on his own. He moved to Spain a few years ago. Richard was quite a good sport about being beheaded - none of us were taking it terribly seriously.

B&W Tuesday
I was here on Wednesday last week, possibly Thursday. It’s the highest road in Wales running from Hay on Wye to LLanthony and beyond, it’s called the Gospel Pass near to Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains, I used my Drone to take the shot. You’re welcome.

“What is that?”
The hero looks to where the villain is pointing at their feet, a frown creasing their brow in confusion. “Are you five? It’s called a cat.”
The villain’s hand drops, unimpressed. The cat weaves itself around the hero’s ankles and purrs brightly. “Is it yours?”
“Oh, yeah. She’s my sidekick now,” the hero tells them, receiving a disbelieving laugh in return.
“The cat,” the villain says slowly, “is your sidekick.”
“She’s trained!” The hero kneels down to the cat’s level, giving it a loving pat on the head. “Sit.”
The cat does just that, and the hero gives it a tiny treat from their hand. “Good girl. Speak.”
A heartfelt meow echoes off the walls around them, and the hero grins at the villain as they get to their feet, “Wanna see her best trick?”
“You’ve trained a cat like a dog. Big whoop.”
The hero’s grin widens as they point a finger at the villain like an accusation. “Attack!”
The cat lunges at the villain with its claws and teeth bared, and the villain learns very fast that a cat can indeed make for a very good sidekick.

Also the bookmark poll just reminded me that I got my spouse two books for Christmas but I bought them while out shopping with the friend we were staying with in New England, and the only reasonable bookstore to get to was Barnes and Noble, and I forgot to take out the little "Join our rewards club!" slip from the receipt they'd tucked into the book, so he opens it up to read it and went, "GASP. You went to Barnes and Noble? BETRAYAL."
This is how genuinely ride or die my household is for indie bookstores.
