Reading, writing, self (Glebe near Dow's Lake)
Five free books that could help a writer or other creative person. Take one or all. 1. "Style" FL Lucas. F. L. Lucas's Style (1955) is a book about the writing and appreciation of good prose, expanded for the general reader from lectures given to English literature students at Cambridge University. Rather rough condition, the spine is missing a piece, but it's still readable. 2. How to live, the life of Montaigne by Sarah Bakewell. It is about the life of the 16th-century French nobleman, wine grower, philosopher, and essayist Michel Eyquem de Montaigne. In it, Bakewell "roughly maps out Montaigne's life against the questions he raises along the way," drawing the answers to these questions from his Essays. I recommend you get the Essays as well, to go with this book. 3. The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, helps creatives recover from stress and other barriers to creativity. 4. The Lifetime reading plan, a book about classical books and literature you may want to read in the future. 5. Solving the Procrastination puzzle, about avoidance of difficult tasks such as your creative projects.

Training Potty (Ottawa)
Potty training this summer? This potty can also be placed on the real toilet itself. Or use the bottom half of it as a very solid step stool. Full disclosure, the hinge is broken on one side but this does not prevent it from doing its principal job - just a bit harder to detach regularly.

Cyclamen seeks better exposure (Dow’s Lake)
Promised
I have regretfully accepted that I don’t have the desirable conditions for keeping this white cyclamen healthy year ‘round. It’s resilient, but it’s trying to bloom and my windowsill is too sunny. It would prefer less intense light and cooler temperatures. Would you have an appropriate spot?

4 tires (Kenson Park)
Promised
They were originally on a Toyota Camry. Tire brand is Allegra Touring. Size shown in pictures. Obviously the rims are shot, but the tire wear is moderate. If you have suitable rims, you'd get several more years out of these. Or perhaps someone needs some tires to make some swings?

Miniature Greenhouses (Dow’s Lake)
*Consider this description as appearing on the back pages of a comic book. These are lightweight, portable, admit light, and have drainage holes. The roofs can open as seedlings get taller. There are about eleven of the medium size, one larger and one smaller. You may have other ideas how to use them. Go right ahead, if you are the lucky claimant. Send no box tops.

Tahini past bb (Dow’s Lake)
I first discovered that sesame is not good for me, then checked this unopened jar of tahini to discover that it’s past its bb date (see photo). It’s not soooo much beyond it. Maybe there’s a margin of error? I imagine that it would be ok for creatures. Any takers?
