I think I'd have started laying booby traps around the house for them, to be honest.<br /><br />Spence, we delayed our trip up to Gloucester till Saturday morning as the weather was so fierce! <br /><br />And you are probably one of the few people I would have trusted with one of my books, actually. But that's only because I know you'd look after it.livesbythewoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660484415596484648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595674746798792040.post-64280831963388898432009-11-15T09:57:57.933+00:002009-11-15T09:57:57.933+00:00I was in Hastings yesterday and the sea was really...I was in Hastings yesterday and the sea was really really pissed off. It was amazing to watch at lunchtime from the warmth of an Italian restaurant with the rain gushing sideways with the force of water cannons.<br /><br />On the book thing. I would never part with any of my books, although I wonder why I have some of them....30 Hour Basic for the BBC Micro for example is on the shelf to my left here as I type....but the ones that I loaned and lost are never forgotten. *Sobs*Spenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623431721753677270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595674746798792040.post-8101915422804640802009-11-15T03:15:14.358+00:002009-11-15T03:15:14.358+00:00Many many years ago I had a "friend" tha...Many many years ago I had a "friend" that would come over unannounced... and take what ever (borrow) struck her fancy, books tapes etc. I never saw any of it again.<br /><br />It caused me to put a different lock on the inside of my door and take off the lace curtain...in the hopes of stashing my new books and such before she got into the house...it didn't work.<br /><br />Being polite is a curse in the company of those with no manners.<br /><br />That storm sounds like great sleeping weather.@elohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974297923741455898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595674746798792040.post-20395604653754040322009-11-14T07:51:12.023+00:002009-11-14T07:51:12.023+00:00MLS, true.

Why aren't the BBC making traumatic documentaries about the appalling damage done by book "borrowers"?<br /><br />Kate, if you read this, get in touch please. Be lovely to catch up. Oh yes, and to get my books back.livesbythewoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660484415596484648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595674746798792040.post-38100152070824982892009-11-14T01:42:13.377+00:002009-11-14T01:42:13.377+00:00He did only write two novels to be fair.
