I'm Rich!

... RICH IN INFORMATION, that is. For today I joined the library! And because this is a new borough, where I don't owe massive fines from ten years ago, the application went straight through! I wandered about like a lottery winner in a department store thinking: Any of these books could be mine!

Little things little minds ~ yes.

Also I get free internet time ~ wahey!!

  1. I think I'm on the library most wanted list. I've always been so bad about returning books on time. Irresponsible, that's what they tell me...
    Got rid of the dead birds. Well actually, they are still there but now obscured by two new posts. Hope that helps...

  6. Melody: good. I owe my old library £35 which is about $50 in late fees. And 10 years later they still won't let me rejoin (though they gave me a free card)

    Syd: we have to pay for DVDs inc. language courses. The latter thing annoyed me as music is a luxury; languages are basic like poetry, literature, things libraries are MEANT to be for...

    Akelamalu: aye!

    Lonegrey: free for an hour each day ~ how about that!!

    Terminallyuniq: they are BRITISH people who love drinking heavily. It's all the rage to get mashed. E.g. on a birthday you (can be) expected to drink a "yard" of ale which is God knows how many pints... in ONE

    I saw a doc featuring an American on the British (but Spanish) holiday isle of Ibiza he was hardly "narrow minded" but couldn't believe how British women behaved, esp. when drunk. They call them "ladettes"

    Pussinboots: I had such withdrawals for 10 years!!

  7. I can't go to the library here.. I failed to return books from 11 years ago and they still have it on file. They want 25 bucks.. I just can't see handing them 25 bucks for a stupid book about bees..
