Spent the day shopping and consequently lugging heavy bags around Cardiff. I never knew there was an Oxfam store dedicated to books. Picked up You’ll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again and Tilting at Windmills, a collection of ”new Welsh short fiction” (don’t know why, it just felt appropriate).

Moreover, the bastards at WHSmith lured me into buying Antony Beevor’s both Berlin – The Downfall 1945 and Stalingrad. This wasn’t reasonable behaviour, and the only explanation I can give was that the books were £4 off marked price, ie. pretty cheap.

Add to this the fact that I couldn’t resist the £6 Billy Connolly DVD I spotted at MVC and that Noreena Hertz’s The Silent Takeover arrived in the mail in the morning, and the conclusion is that I’ve bought way way too many books and will face some logistics problems hauling them back to Finland. Oh dear.
