Info Pimp

"Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books." Guy Browning (The Guardian column, www.guardian.co.uk 18 October 2003)

Mama's Day

Yep. A perfect Mama's Day.
An early night beforehand.
A walk in the morning sunshine with the pup to the shops to get baking supplies.
A sleepy boy in his pyjamas.
A card and a box of chocolates.
Decorating cupcakes for the mother in-law with red sugar sprinkles.
Phoning the other 2 mothers.
Pack the boy and dog off to his folks for lunch.
Run around the house playing dressups to loud music.
Boy with a quiff knocks on the door and with the ultimate yummy mummy we all travel down to Bad Dog.
Beers in the last of the day's sunshine with all my fabulous, and fabulously dressed, friends.
Great conversations, dancing, flirting, laughing, posing.
Sitting on laps, whispering secrets, talking dirty, making plans.
Dancing contained and dancing loud.
Then into the night for a gossipy cab ride to another venue. More dancing. But slimmer pickings and not as blowsy and awesome. Jacket and tiara back on and home I travel.

Completely exhausted this morning. But so very happy.
Last night I dreamt of mint green hankies and picture books.
*sighs*
