Earlier today, when I was done with rummaging the book shops and the record stores, I took a slightly different route back home, a route I hadn’t used in several weeks, maybe months. This path took me by a short strip of shops, just a hundred meters or so, just around the corner from where we live.

It was quite unnerving to notice that several shops had closed down and new ones opened up during the short period of time that had passed. I mean, we basically just arrived to the UK and already things are changing. Very stress-inducing, that.
