The Prophet of Doom!

So...an elderly gentleman, who claims to be a renowned scientist came into the 'Book Cave' today and was greeted by someone he knew and they proceeded to have a conversation that was far too loud for their surroundings. I could not help but eavesdrop as I tidied some shelves.I was not deliberately paying attention at first as the elderly scientist commented upon the 'crazy weather' at the moment. Well, it's hardly crazy but I think he was referring to the fact that yesterday the temperatures were in the high 30s and today we are barely scraping the low 20s. A significant drop, I grant you, but I had not been overly concerned by it.The elderly scientist however had had a phone conversation with someone in Melbourne who apparently told him such a strange 'spike' in the weather had not occurred since the elephants froze in Russia.Now he had my full attention."When was that?" asked the other chap."20,000 years ago" said the elderly scientist "before the last ice age, so another ice age is coming."I am not a scientist but you would think a renowned one would not mix up his elephants and mammoths.He wasn't finished though, as if that is not enough for us to worry about he went on to prophesy to his friend that World War Three would begin before the end of 2020 between two superpowers.I felt I was wasting what little life I had left spending time tidying book shelves.He finally left saying "All the best" to my colleague that served him leaving behind a 'Book Cave' of despondent people.The audacity!

Bye Bye Brexit and Farewell Roxy!

So...finally Brexit is over. I don't want to hear any more about it or ever see Nigel Farage again.On an even sadder note, today we said 'farewell' to Roxy. She was the best car I have ever had, despite her little idiosyncrasies. We got her soon after we arrived here in October 2013. She was an elderly lady then but she served us well over the years, and carried us on many a road trip and we pretty much ran her into the ground in the end. She still looked in pretty good condition at the end despite having dodgy steering and having donated her 'drive shaft' to Rhonda the Honda...

A New Look!

So...I have had to upgrade the site as I had run out of space and did not have any more room to post pictures. Unfortunately you cannot just buy more storage space but have to upgrade to the next level to increase your space. You get sucked in by everything being free initially but when your first 3GB of storage space are gone you then have to pay for the next 3GB or move elsewhere or start again somewhere else but by that point you have invested so much into your site that you cannot face abandoning the continuity of it. This is the second upgrade the site will have gone through though hopefully, despite a bigger annual fee, I should not have to worry about this again, hopefully, for another six years. I have used 6GB of space but now have 13GB. In six years when the time comes to upgrade again it will be a different matter because the cost of the next upgrade is way out of my league but there's no need to worry about that now.In the meantime the upgrade means there are now more options available to me , for example, I can add video and audio clips in the future.Please let me know what you think of this new look as I can always go back to the old one, though I know some people found that one a bit awkward on mobile devices.Be honest...or you can just click on the 'star' icon to like this post.
