Love a book with an evocative soundtrack, as listed at the back in Val McDermid's 1979 and 1989, or in this charmer set in 70s Yorkshire with Elton John classics woven thru.

The cover of a book called The List Of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey, with a drawing of a crow perch on milk bottles about to peck open the foil cover of one of them.

New to me today - zero plastic sticky tape. Does exactly as it says on the tin - easy tear, very sticky. I bit icky to handle but hey, it's one move forward. Very appropriate as it is for a workshop based on SDGs. There will be #glowies

A box labelled Sellotape Zero Plastic Extra Sticky Easy Tear with a roll of tape visible thru a window in the box.
