This week I have discovered something new and re-discovered something.  Both of these things have made me happy.

Firstly I have re-discovered the library! With the onset of computers and frankly not really having any reason to use the library, my ticket expired many years ago.  However, a friend of mine who works for a local library told me about the free rhymetime and storytimes they do.

I decided to try them out and at the same time I re-newed my membership.  I was really thinking more of the children.  However when I went in this week, I discovered that they have shelves full of chick lit, which I have to say are my favourite reads.

I like books to be an easy read for chilling out with at the end of the day.  I like simply written books with not too much detail.  (Yes, I really am that basic!) What’s more  I can stock up on my favourite authors, read them and change them all for free!  Brilliant.

This is great for another reason as part of my website was to be book reviews and now I have chance to read loads without having to keep paying out for them.

I have to say I am really impressed with the library system.  Within an area, you can take the books back to any library.  You can have books out for a month.  And if you want to renew them, you can do this over the phone or via the computer to save you actually going in. 

They also have computers that you can use for up to an hour.  (This may vary within different libraries). Gosh how it’s changed.

Secondly, I discovered Innocent Smoothies (www.innocentdrinks.co.uk)  in pineapple, coconut and banana flavour.  Ooooooh yummy!!  If you like pina colada flavour, you will love these.  The only annoying thing about them is one of my children also loves the taste, so we are having mini battles to see who can get to the carton first!
