Super busy, probably. A researcher will be coming into the library shortly so I will be "assisting" him for the most part I suppose. I have to get the relevant archives down from the archives room for him (which I will probably do now). We don't have a huge amount on the area in which he is interested so I can pretty much say what he will want. But I'm not sure I want to pre-empt him. Hmmm... professional stuff. Have to think about that. 

He is researching a local college associated with the Order. It was founded in 1860 and is pretty prestigious. Most of the papers etc are at the college itself, but we do have roll books, photos, and a few pieces of ephemera which might be of interest.

I do love my job. It can be so bizarre.

Speaking of bizarre, I will have to try to find someone willing to go to the post office for me with a large packet of books to send to Canada. I was going to do it myself, but the researcher clashes and so I have to be here. There are times when I wish I had an assistant. Not many. I like working alone. I'm strange that way.

The roses are now all out in the rose garden and the place looks magnificent. The library looks out over the rose garden and the old house. It is so much better to be in the ugly building looking at the pretty one than vice versa.

I did NO writing last night. I have NO news (apart from the cat coming back again and eating a huge bowl of food overnight). We're getting geared up for the holidays in the children department. My son finishes school Friday week. We are going to England to visit my sister in law for a few days the following week and I will also go to the Friars, in Aylesford, to visit the library there and meet the librarians. Really looking forward to that. Hopefully there will be lots of inspiration to pick up.

Oh, I think I decided to use the crit group to work on May Queen. That's the thought of the moment anyway.

So that's it. I'd better get going.
