1. 73% of people with too much time on their hands cause 98% of trouble in the world.  Probably.

2. Books published in Portugal, Spain and France (had lost interest by the time I got to the German and Italian ones, so can't even remember which way round they are)(as opposed to anglophone books...(shouldn't that be angloscript not -phone?)) have their spines printed upside down, so that when you have to lay books on their sides to fit all the damned things in, if you want to be able to read the spine you have to lay it cover side down.  How counterintuitive is THAT? 

3. I think it might be time for an "intervention" with little Mr Bibliophile, and it occurs to me that I could be classed as an "enabler" to an addict (i.e. when I get a phone call from Lisbon... "do you want to come and have lunch in town?" "You mean you want me to bring the car and collect a shedload of books, don't you?" "mmmmmmm", "oh, alright then", etc.)... I think I've been watching too much Dr Phil (I haven't really, I just catch his judgmental moustache when channel flicking because the remote for the telly has left this mortal coil). 

4. The sight of cat nipples makes me feel a little bit icky.  

5. back to lugging.

well, then, how do you feel about squirrel nipples? and, um, other, let's say, sometimes hidden bits?
i find them kinda reassuring,like, pointing to the unity of life. or something. kinda like that.
oh, and then there's the question of bug bits.

those wee cats are really cute. We got a kitten a couple of weeks ago, he's called Marvin (from the Hitch-hikers guide!) Lucia loves him!
