This one just arrived from Vistaprint.
I was wondering how their prints would look on black shirts, the answer is: not great. It's not a big deal because the shirt was cheap (one of those 'try one free' deals, where you have to pay for postage and handling and end up paying a reasonably low price, which does not equal 'free', but still equals 'reasonably low') but it's not something I would gladly have paid more for.
Still, I'm wearing it today.
The toothless tiger (nothing a bit of correction fluid couldn't fix) is one of their standard designs; the text was found in many places on the internets and goes: 'I can only please so many people a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good, either.'

I just went to the recycling centre / second hand shop across the street.
I took the shopping trolley that we keep in the Book Room as a receptacle for books that are falling apart, or that we can't possibly imagine anyone being happy about finding. The trolley was half full (although some people would say it was half empty).

I used the available space for pizza boxes from the kitchen, and empty glass jars and bottles. By the time there were none left in the kitchen, the trolley was more than full. This is a wine, peanut butter and pizza loving, four-person household (I use the term 'house' loosely).

While throwing the books and boxes in the waste paper container, I happened to find some books that were not falling apart, and suitable for BookCrossing purposes. So I took them home.

They were:
Room at the top (John Braine), Penguin, decent condition
A twist in the tale (Jeffrey Archer), paperback, decent condition
Serenade (Leon de Winter), a Dutch National Book Week gift, good condition
The incredible journey (Sheila Burnford), Dutch translation in reasonable condition
Brave new world (Aldous Huxley), nice tacky '50s Bantam pocket, rather brittle.

This last one goes straight onto Mt. TBR, no matter what miketroll says.

Inside the shop I bought an aluminium strainer, sieve or possibly a steaming dish, suitable for washing engine parts in a part washer such as stoneshop has.

All in all quite a useful little trip.
