Myself when old

I have just found THE best picture to sum up what I might be like in fifty years time. When I have my library, and Victorian dress has come back in fashion. And if I were a man. Actually, skip that last. It's a fab painting!

The Bookworm, by Carl Spitzweg: ......... I can't stop giggling!

I know! It's fantastic! Makes me long for a larger bedroom - although then I would need more books to fill the shelves!

Geranium Cat is right. I bought that book to give to a friend and would love a copy for myself.

Yeah, I've seen it - think I did a post in May that is basically just lots of libraries! I think the Trinity College one is my favourite - I wanted to do my undergrad degree there!!!
