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?"
