Ageing

I visited the library to return a few books on phsycometric testing, despite my best efforts to actually read the books and practice (twice), I found myself apologising to the librarian that unfortunately, "the books left me stone cold". On the plus side, our local library have a service that they will consider ordering a book, if they do not have it in their collection for a grand total of 75p. Needless to say, I was pleased as punch and promplty paid my 75p. This go me thinking about libraries in general, and what a valuable service they provide particularly our library which, every time I have visited has people of all ages using it. I must say, for many years I thought libraries were a bit "naf" or for those also in possession on a free bus pass but I am pleased to admit I was wrong. It's not about age it's about thirst for knowledge, long may libraries flourish even in this technology driven age. Wouldn't you agree? I also spoke to my Dad today who, well let's just say, was one of the original fans of the Rolling Stones, I caught him just as he was off to play a game of squash, I agreed to ring back later. When I rang again, he was just off to play snooker, but was beside himself with excitement as he had found a reasonably priced dentist and would be collecting his new set of false teeth on Monday! My sister his having a birthday "do" for herself and my nephew tomorrow and yes my parents will be attending although, my Dad will be without teeth!
