On my way to NT volunteering this morning, before a full day's work this afternoon and then getting ready for tomorrow's Job 2.2 all-day online meeting, I suddenly realised that last weekend, which I messed up by working in, were the last days I'd have off for about six weeks - ack! I'm hoping to at least have some quieter days in there, I must catch up on lj, and I'm desperate to escape to a beach for just a few hours, but in the meantime I found this via the dread fb. There's always books. Phew!



How brilliant and happy-making is that? *vbg*

*wanders off back to work*...

Well, that explains why my books in the morning are never in the same place as they were in the evening. ;-)

But six weeks without a day off is very hard. I hope you can find a few hours to escape to the beach. I'm sure you need it.

Hee - I do like the idea of all my books having adventures whilst I'm asleep... *g*

And thank you - Job 2 makes a good change from Job 1 anyway, and they do say a change is as good as a break... I'm not entirely sure they're right, but hopefully I'll be able to escape just occasionally... *g*

It is wonderful, isn't it! And it makes me want to live in a bookshop! Or work in one. Or be a book. *g*

I saw this quite awhile back, but it was fun to see again. Isn't it wonderful all the things that can be done with books? *g*

It was new to me! I've always liked the idea of books having adventures when all the people have gone way, though... *g*

That is BRILLIANT. Just what I needed this morning! Having worked in a bookstore for many years, I completely believe it, too.

Isn't it fab! All the books are alive - how lush! *g* (And, as ever - great icon! *g*)

That vid was well-titled - the books themselves seemed joyful. Very clever!

Six weeks without a day off is a big effort, I hope you do make it to the beach, or at least find time to read.

I knew it! Amazing that finally somebody was able to film that, how beautiful they move!

Thanks for sharing!

Ack for six weeks of constant work!! I wish you some nice beach times! Due to the closed A35, I think it was, we missed the beach at Charmouth on our way back to the Shuttle. Sooo sad!
But we saw so many other fabulous things! We do have to come back, because it wasn't quite enough. *gg*

Hopefully you'll be able to visit the virtual office once in a while, I do have to get there more often, and maybe we could meet. That would be great.

Happy working and reading and going to the beach!
