It was my working all day today. The manager of Shoreham library, Nick, has been sent to work at Lancing on Thursdays so he was in charge. He is very jaded by working for the library service man and boy, very sarcastic and most amusing. As his age and his length of service combined total over 100 years he is eligible for retirement but he keeps going, partially I am sure to wreak revenge on all the borrowers who have irritated him over the years 😆
It was a fairly run of the mill day with no real things to note. One of my colleagues and I always have a Word of the Day when working together, sometimes we attempt to actually use it in conversation with a borrower, other times it is just a new word we have heard somewhere and liked the sound of. Today neither of us had one so I scoured various websites that offer WotD emails. Dictionary.com had ‘hopscotch’ which we were very uninspired by so I searched further and found ‘boustrophedon’ which we both liked lots.
Ady, Davies and Scarlett had a nice day apparently. They were visiting stores in the Dover area so had a bit of a walk round Dover and Ady did some war history chatting to them. They also looked at Hastings Pier which has been burnt down.
Back at home everyone was tired, it feels like it’s been a long week for some reason. I read a book to Scarlett as Davies was watching something on TV and then the kids went to bed, I had a bath and Ady sorted dinner.
I love that word!  I’d never heard of it so looked it up and thought what a fantastic project for C to do – think she’d enjoy that for a bit with calligraphy pen. Obviously no C :-(.
I may instead write to C using this method. :-).
I like boustrophendon too. I’d never heard of it, so I looked it up. Then asked Jonathan if he knew what it was, and he immediately gave me a full definition…
And today he’s written it on the noticeboard in the kitchen in Greek letters in boustrophedon form!
One of his interviewers was concerned he might come over as a bit bookish. Can’t think what she was worried about.
😆 😆
I think a photo is required Jan!
lol told M and he thought Bob and Katy’s J!
