Early days here on Virb - I'm looking forward to trying to entertain/distract/amuse/inform/interact with y'all.

For example, how about a Quote Of The Week feature - from whatever tomes I've been reading recently - here goes:

"When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars."

From "Positive Thinking For Calvinists" by Ian Black. Black and White Publishing. ISBN 1 84502 079 0

People are saying that books are going out of fashion - pah! Nothing could replace the musty aroma of an old book. And they don't need batteries. On a motorbike ride through the glorious lanes of North Dorset the other weekend I was stopped in my single track by the sight of a book sale in someone's drive - all titles 20p! I stuffed my rucksack with an eclectic selection and learned, from a miniature bathroom reader, that rats cannot vomit - which is why they are so susceptible to poison.....

Fellow bibliophiles should check out:

www.greenmetropolis.com

for a really effective way to sell and buy secondhand books, some of the proceeds going to plant trees to make more books....

Right, I feel like uploading an Image Of The Week.

Speak soon,
