Browsing the Bookshelves

Had a torrid day yesterday. I have a torrid day every time I have to visit the dentist, even if it's only for a check-up. But yesterday I was feeling groggy anyway and the last thing I wanted to do was travel all the way to Oxford to sit in a cold waiting room - admittedly I only had to wait because we were a little early - and then shiver all the way back to London with my husband cursing that the car was too hot already, even before I turned the heating up. I blame him - not a single stop for coffee on the way there or the way back.

Still, I did manage to remember to release a book in the waiting room:  Rosary Girls by Richard Montanari, so if anyone fancies going hunting, you know where to look.

Much as I like the dentist in Oxford, I think it's time to find one a little closer to home.

Much more of a stay at home day today, although I did venture down to Dulwich to start filling my new storage space, once again rented from Dulwich Storage Company.

A lovely gentleman from the States called this afternoon, after books illustrated by Margaret Tempest for his wife - who apparently was disappointed not to be able to travel to London with him. I love the fact that someone from so far away takes the time to visit and browse our books.  And the thought that there are going to make someone so far away happy is very rewarding.
