After posting a picture of a library with no books yesterday, something very unusual occurred. I visited a library and came out with no books!

I hadn’t planned to go the library but, having cycled out to pick up some sheet music at lunchtime, Bury Knowle Park was a good place to stop to eat, particularly the benches just outside the library. However, a combination of having several books on the go (and that music to work on) and also not a huge amount of time before I had to be back for a run of afternoon meetings meant that, after a quick check to make sure there wasn’t anything unmissable (such as A Game of Ghosts, the recent addition to John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series) I decided to walk out empty handed.

For me, that’s unusual enough to comment on.
