How is everyone doing? I’m so sorry my posts have been so spotty lately but last week was a busy one at work and I was just exhausted when I got home. All I’ve been doing I feel like is watching crafty videos on youtube. Ha.
Anyway, we did get out for some fun on Sunday when we went to a flamenco concert. There was a short performance outside against the Austin downtown backdrop so it was really lovely but the best part was to come. Nino de Pura delighted the audience with the beautiful guitar sounds.
Other than that the weekend was also a lot of running doing chores and garden work. I have so much to tell you about new books I’ve received, books I’ve finished reading, etc. but first I have to vent about a library snafu.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my public library but I had ordered a book via ILL for my husband and I returned it last Wednesday but they’ve lost it! So now I probably will have to pay for it. It’s not that expensive but that’s just never happened before. As a matter of fact, I returned another book that day and they have that one but not the other. We’ll see what happens. Hopefully they’ll find it.
So that’s the latest. Again, I’m so sorry I’ve been away from blogland but I’ll catch up one of these days. Take care friends and more bookish talk soon.
Flamenco and guitar–I can imagine that it was a delightful performance!
Thanks for the wonderful Teesha Moore postcard, Iliana! I love her work. 🙂
Aw, that’s too bad. I’ve been in that position. And, just this week, in fact, I noticed that somehow a book I’ve never borrowed (a travel guide to Guatemala) – and I’ve never travelled anywhere!) has appeared on my card with a small stack of books that I did borrow that day. Another technical glitch. Perhaps caught up by a neighbouring scanner, or something manually mis-keyed? *shakes head* Who knows. But, overall, I depend on the library SO much, borrowing hundreds of books that I couldn’t otherwise afford/read. So, even if there is an occasional mistake, should we mind so much, really? There are so many countries that do not even have libraries for citizens…
I hope that you don’t get charged. Check the lending library’s catalog to check whether it’s over there. This happened to me one time. It wasn’t checked out on my library’s system, but the book was returned to original library.
The concert sounds wonderful! And I hope the library will find the book soon.
A flamenco concert sounds wonderful! My husband plays the guitar and would enjoy hearing something like that, I’m sure.
What a shame about the library book. I hope it was just a computer error and discovered quickly.
I can totally relate to being exhausted after work. Sorry about the library book, I hope they find it!
The flamenco concert sounds like a fun time.
Gotta love the crafty videos on youtube lol. I watch crochet ones. Enjoy your week!
