The impossible art of doing things right!

Some days ago I dug up the courage to write a message to the library discussion list about the inter library lending system. I got some answers, first one indicating that this stupid woman should have made some more enquires and another quite impolite.  This made me wonder why are librarians so eager to put [...]

The Great Tit, Parus major

This morning going to work I saw mother Great Tit and all her kids eagerly exercise in the art of acrobatic flying. They were buzzing in and out of the branches of the trees along the road. I was thinking about reading: how to become a better and more reflected reader? That will also demand [...]
