Day 152............back to the library.

Day 152............back to the library.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

As yesterdays blog mentioned, Jen and I went to the library, to see if we could be more effective in our writing there. Just as well I am on Beech (for tolerance) and Willow (for resentment) because the place was hoaching with noisy teenagers. I am most surprised that they were allowed to make the amount of noise that they were making but know very well how much noise a few excited teens can make. I think they were all meant to be studying but, whilst there was some small quiet pockets of them, the majority seemed more intent on chatting than studying. It reminded me a bit of the noise the kids used to make whilst waiting to go into their exams, when I was invigilating. No point in trying to hush them because we made more noise trying to make ourselves heard through the noise.
We didn't get round to the library till the afternoon and today looks like a similar scenario, if at all.
We definitely were more productive, being out of the house and it was so much warmer in the library that I even had rosy cheeks. It was great having Jen there because I could go to the toilet without having to pack up my valuables :-) Oooh, I do love a library to myself.
There's not too much to offer about yesterday. Some days are just like that. I did get a letter, yes-an actual letter-from home. I had just finished saying to Jen that I would really love to get a letter and the postie dropped one through the letterbox. Instant communication is grand but there's nothing like a good old hand-written letter to put a smile on my face. I am not complaining, really. I don't send much snail mail because the postage is $2.50 and I grudge it. I shouldn't really grudge it because a letter can get from Canada to Scotland in three days and that's pretty awsome.
My letter was from my pal Sandra who is not online-so, some bonuses for not being able to chat to her any time I want to.
I am hoping that the forecast for several centimetres of snow tomorrow is accurate and that we may finally be able to build a snowman. New York really messed up with their closures for the storm which did not arrive so perhaps we'll get the opposite and have a huge dump that the city isn't prepared for.
Well, I won't whitter on.
Love to all,
