So Many Books... - June 5th, 2009
Jun. 5th, 2009
05:55 pm - Got my books, got my cause..
And it's more than just 'cause it's so cool to do MotherReader's 48 Hour Book Challenge this year! Okay, that's the reason I'm doing it still, but there's an extra wrinkle to the Challenge, in the form of charitable donation. I'm going to donate a Euro per hour's reading to Books for Africa.
Just because once I hit Mr Linky nothing will be heard from me except the sound of turning pages - well, that plus the reviews (well, all right, those plus the odd comment on other challengees' blogs, maybe), a super-quick update on the matter of the elections. I was extremely amused to see that a very late addition to the local elections was Trevor Patton, owner of the Patton Flyer. This is a coach service, going from Dalkey through Dun Laoghaire and on to the airport. 15 minutes' walk from me at this end, and usually takes less than an hour out to the airport, which is great. But Patton is running on the burning issue of - erm, the Patton Flyer. Posters read 'Save our Flights', 'Save our Service'. Bec said the smaller print read 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And then beat 'em.' Dude, it's your business. Are the good citizens of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown really supposed to elect you so you can take care of that?
And Younger Daughter is finished her last exam (huzzah!), and the weather has just turned unpleasant, right on cue.
