I'm enjoying these last few remnants of the holiday and don't want to get back on the hamster wheel.Still not feeling very well and keep falling asleep.I think it's best to give in and have had no problem lozicking about.I did manage a quick errand to buy some courgettes and then decided to visit the library I generally buy books from Les the secondhand book man who is located by the Station where you can pick up recent novels for as little as £2.However in the interests of total frugality I have rejoined the library and have discovered some really good books.However what I find totally shocking is that libraries are no longer venerable institutions of learning and study in hushed tones.People shout at the top of their voices,drink coffee and read aloud stories in the children's area- more like a community centre four women were yelling at each other about how one of them had lent some money to their sister in law and she hadn't paid it back on and on blah,blah it was impossible to concentrate on the printed word.I guess it's a sign of the times but I don't like it.
Tomorrow I shall have to take down the trees and put away the decorations rather sadly.I am inspired by Niki http://nostalgiaatthestonehouse.blogspot.co.uk/to tidy my work room so hopefully will be able to show you the fruits of my labour tomorrow.In the meantime a little bit of motivation...

Our library is in an old building but has quiet areas. We both use the online service, reserving books so its just a matter of popping in when we get the emails. You even check the books in and out electronically. All due to staff cuts I suppose.
Outch! I agree with you, a library atmosphere makes a total difference!
Ours is a bookmobile for the moment and I miss the extensive selection!
Hoping you are feeling better,
