the usual complaint, redux

[incandescens]

Work continues busy, and I continue tired as a result. Note to self: drop by Waterstones tomorrow to make sure I've reserved a copy of the new Scott Lynch before it comes out on Thursday.

Also, must get new lot of magnets and earrings done before sale on Saturday.

Also, must buy (cheap) magnetic board to display magnets on.

Also, must see about booking rail tickets for (a) Birmingham Quilt Show in August, (b) visit to family later in August.

More hours needed in day.

‘Of course,’ said Locke. ‘I congratulate you on a very flattering clientele. But your vault doors are guarded by gears, and gears are shaped by men. What one man locks another will sooner or later unlock.’

‘I say again, impossible.’

‘And I correct you again. Difficult. “Difficult” and “impossible” are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common.’

‘You have more chance of giving birth to a live hippopotamus,’ said Requin, ‘than the best thief alive has of making it past the cordon drawn around my vault. But this is silly – we could sit here all night contrasting cock-lengths. I say mine is five feet long, you say yours is six and shoots fire upon command. Let’s hurry back to significant conversation.’

-- Red Seas Under Red Skies, Scott Lynch

That is a good quote.

Definitely more hours needed in the day. *hugs*

(hugs) I am looking forward to that author's next. :)

Yes. I vote for more hours, useful hours, each day, too. I am now ordering the first two so that I may pounce upon the new one with some knowledge. *laughs* I do love my Kindle for travel.

I am finding my Kindle very useful for travel too! Or even just for short trips. And I think you'll like those books.
