Friday, February 10

I've been to the letter box this morning but there are no birthday cards.  I know Australia Post is struggling to be relevant in this modern world but it's a shame that even special birthday cards can be held up.  No matter!

I met a man in the library who had about twelve books lined up to borrow.  I commented he would be busy and he said, "When you read 15 books a week, you need to keep up the supply."

15!  He said he visits three libraries each week: Longford, Westbury and Deloraine.  He has a day bed on his front verandah and lies there with a dog on each side and reads.  "I don't watch TV," he said. "It's all rubbish.  The Farmer Wants a Wife?  Who cares?"
