On Friday we had the delight and pleasure to meet brilliant and funny author Bill Bryson.
We were both very excited and pleased to see that he was as funny and lovely in the flesh as he portrays in his amazingly ace books. Gorgeous beard, lovely soft voice !
We also came to the conclusion the day prior to this that we wanted some changes in our physical surrounds, so we are having a huge continual clear out, which began with a garage sale yesterday at our business premises. We have a lovely, soft, luxurious IKEA couch that came over from California that we are saying " cheer ho " to, it's in great condition, but we have been keeping it for sentimental reasons as opposed to need, so out it goes...other things that have bitten the dust are :-a little weather house, that was dusty and crap......some teaching books...( don't want to think about that sort of thing ).......old ceiling fans......and more...but I have suddenly become too lazy to list the other things....
Some things that I can not say " toodle pip " to are :- my spiritul and esoteric books, and I continue to buy many of them, since books ( that are not about teaching in a high school ) are wonderful and you can never have too many, Plus when we have our library built, we will need some top books to fill it.
I also watched " The Secret " last night, and whilst I TOTALLY agree with the sentiment and ideas presented, I couldn't help thinking I was watching one great AMWAY style commerical....so I went to bed after an hour....
