The rest of today

I'm feeling unsettled, what with all the mental activity, so I'm going home via the supermarket. I'll put the washing machine on and try to have a nap. I don't know what I'm having for dinner today, but I'm sure I'll end up watching something later on.
By the way when I popped out earlier, I noticed a book in a charity shop window, with the name Unseen Archives. This is surely a misnomer. Of course the archives may have been unseen for a long time until they were published, at which time they would have already been seen by the publisher, the author, the proof-reader and everyone involved in the book's production. After that they would have been seen by at least one reader, and were therefore 'seen' rather than 'unseen'.
