Uneventful day - was running round town, dropped the book I'd just finished on the East End Childhood in the 50s, into the Senior Centre and was pleased that Phyllis was there too, coincidentally she had just dropped in. Although she comes from the East End she knows Streatham, Brixton, Croydon, Surrey Street, all these places. When we'd finished reminiscing and I was leaving, Kate the Centre Director said we'd seemed to have had a very good visit.
Another reason I was at the Senior Centre was because I had cleared out the bottom shelf of my bookcase of all the novels I'd bought when I first came here, which were in good condition. Kate was appealing for bingo prizes, so I got bags, mugs and biscuits from the dollar store, made up about four bags each containing a book, mug, biscuits, tea or coffee sachets, each one being a prize. I'd done it before and Kate said they liked them. And she still has a lot of books if she wants to make up more bags.
I no longer buy pristine new novels, I have discovered Barnes and Noble's secondhand bookstore online (so I no longer need to go to Norman, which is just as well as it is under water, as is a good part of Highway 9) so now I buy books for 99cents, or $1.99.
This evening I have been making little cakes. Although I am feeling too old to get to Kiwanis for 8 o'clock, I still support them and made cakes for their bake sale tomorrow morning.
The Presidential Campaign.........
Hilary Clinton has competition for the Democrat nomination.
And this is the latest Democrat to jump in...
The rest of the news........
Joe Biden's son, who was 46, died this weekend from brain cancer, leaving a wife and two young children. How heartbreaking is that, I can't imagine his grief. He also lost his first wife and a daughter in a road accident some years ago.
