Today’s best bits:
Leaving work early. I left work early due to train badness (see yesterday’s post), but I managed to get a train that got me home before I would usually have left work, so that was good.
Eating chocolates left over from colleague’s birthday yesterday.
A colleague telling me they’d found the third lost book – [...]

I went to Spring Harvest (which I keep rather vaguely describing to people as “a big Christian thing”) over the Easter weekend. I would write more about it, but I’m still processing the stuff I learned and experienced, so writing about it in public will have to wait, if indeed this ever happens. In summary, [...]

I have often wondered what sound a giraffe makes, and it seems that many other people have, too. Just try searching for “giraffe noise” or “giraffe sounds” or similar in Google, Yahoo or wherever and see how many results come up! I haven’t seen many giraffes in real life, but the ones I have seen [...]

Lilian can’t write a post today, as she is working too hard (or so she claims), so I kindly agreed to write today’s post for her. I suppose I should start by introducing myself. My name is Giraffe, and I live on Lilian’s desk. I am quite small, you understand, in fact I only measure about three [...]

Today at work we were very productive and did the “Meet Your Dæmon” quiz thing on The Golden Compass film website. We do work hard, honestly, but some of us were on break and decided to do the quiz and of course everyone else ‘had’ to join in. Most of Reader Services turned out to have rather [...]

There is a pink clockwork rabbit sitting on my desk. When it is wound up it jumps and does a backwards somersault! In this respect it is rather like me. I don’t literally jump and do a backwards somersault, just the internal equivalent. It’s flipping annoying (all puns intended).
I used to be calm and tolerant. I’m [...]

I haven’t been tagged by Helen or the Singing Librarian, but they didn’t tag anyone, so I thought I would take up the offer of joining in anyway, and blog eight random things about myself. I know I have done a similar thing before, with Five things you may not know about me, but I am experiencing a [...]

I’m writing this post with gloves on (stripey and fingerless), even though it is nice and sunny outside. Somehow my hands are still like ice. I suppose I would be better off actually being outside, rather than in the not-terribly-sunlit kitchen. The washing machine is working its way up to becoming a jet engine, and [...]

This morning Mr C and I went for a walk from my parents’ house down to the village and through the fields and back again. It was a really beautiful spring day, and it was good to be outside. I really love the countryside around my home town. It’s quintessentially English, I suppose – mainly farms and [...]

On a completely different note to my last post, by a bizarre coincidence, I saw the once-lost dog at the station tonight, and she travelled home on my train. Maybe our lives are now intertwined forever. She’s very cute, and I wouldn’t mind being her friend. Not sure if her owners would like it though, they might [...]
