puffing billy

when in Melbourne we went on ye olde steam train ride through the Dandenongs - which was nice. We also went to a little town called Sassafras - can't remember if I have mentioned it before - but it was a nice little country town that had lots of cute shops ( something I am always interested in :)

Today I went on an excursion, to the local library which involved walking to the library and then back to school - and well let me say it was HOT. I used my umbrella - because well HAT HAIR - but still it was HOT. Also while I was at the library I finally gave in and paid my overdue fines. Which I have been ignoring for the last 4 years - wouldn't you think they would have disappeared. At the time I was extremely, extremely incensed by the stupid system they have in place ( whereby they said to me you can't rely on their reminder letter) = I obviously still have some residual issues. But let me just say I have shown them my displeasure - by absolutely refusing to step foot in the door for the last 4 years! They'll never mess me with me again!

Library and video fines are my worst fears....I obsess about getitng that DVD back in time...not that we get many and maybe that's the problem.

Our local library (so Anotherj and Leesy) tell me has an amnesty from fines once a yar and if you return overdues and donate a can for the poor then they wipe your fines.

well that is also what they said to me when I retruned the books four years ago - however it was too late I had put them in the shoot - and in the angry letter I typed up and never sent I suggested that I should have just kept them til the next amnesty.

Try that again...I'm always scared when my kids bring home library books as they misplace everything.
