My haul from Waterstones this morning. I went specifically looking for Body Work so was delighted to find it. I didn't mean to buy the two other books. I was initially drawn in by the lovely covers, then the 'buy one get one half price' stickers. I've enjoyed many Japanese novels in translation, starting with The Makioka Sisters by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki a few years ago.

Three books laid out on a sofa cushion. At the top Body Work by Ben Aaronovitch. Underneath two Japanese novels in translation: The Passengers on the Hankyu Line by Hiro Arikawa, tr by Allison Markin Powell, and More Days at the Torunka Café by Satoshi Yagisawa, tr by Eric Ozawa. That one has three cats and knitting on the front so I can't go wrong!

Sonnet 008 - VIII
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to …

Kimalaiset ratkaisevat ongelmia kuin kädelliset – uusi tutkimus haastaa käsityksiä eläinten älykkyydestä
Uusi tutkimus osoittaa, että kimalaiset pystyvät ratkaisemaan ongelmia, joita ne eivät ole aiemmin kohdanneet. Tulos haastaa käsityksen, jonka mukaan spontaani ongelmanratkaisu on vain ihmisten ja muiden suuriaivoisten selkärankaisten ominaisuus.

#photography #bloomScrolling #tulips #red

vertical format closeup of a intensely red smooth tulip flower seen in profile, with one petal missing, thus showing the stigma and stamens inside. The focus is on the margins of the petals that are slightly streaked with orange and where the early wilting stage has produced a little more texture already than in the rest of the still smooth petals. the light is diffuse overcast daylight, the background a light grey.
