Curios of the week #4

After posting, I realised that in last week’s Curios, I just ploughed straight into my list of stuff without a preamble. I am not sure how much you appreciate the preambles, but we are back with one this week. It has been challenging in my neck of the woods over the last week or so and has made us all have a think about our place in the universe. I hope all is well with you and those around you.

We have a particularly interesting range of curios this week which I hope you enjoy.

I think I am the person she refers to who has direct instruction books to sell.
