World Book Day!

Who doesn’t love an excuse to buy more books?  Today is World Book Day and our Boys always loved it at Primary School dressing up as their favourite characters from books.  A lot of the time it was Harry Potter, who dominated their early reading.  Eldest thoroughly enjoyed “The Famous Five” books by Enid Blyton and went once as “Julian” and Youngest did go as Indiana Jones once, although a film character they did bring out some books too!

Chatsworth House put out a post today, for World Book Day, about what they call their curation works during the closure of the house.   One big job is to take every book off the library shelf one at a time and dust it thoroughly and put it back in its place.  That doesn’t sound too bad until you realise that there are 17,000 books in the Library itself!  We have 1240 in our sitting room and we do take them all off the shelves and dust them and the shelves when I am doing the Spring Cleaning and it always takes longer than we expect! However you can tell when it has been done.  

I am still listening to my audio books as my eye is not working yet and the right eye is getting tired because of my working so I am not able to read yet, which is why I am so glad I have my subscription to BookBeat.  

Tomorrow I am at Eldest’s to catch up on his work and then Saturday evening DH and I are at a swimming event and then Sunday we have some home jobs to do.  The weather today has been very Spring like and it feels like Spring itself may not be far behind!  At the moment March is coming in like a Lamb so it will be going out like a Lion!  Happy Thursday you lovely lot. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

    The library at Chatsworth House is so pretty and it looks like they color coordinate their books on the shelves! Happy World Book Day and Happy Friday!

    I don’t remember World Book Day being a thing when my kids were in school…too bad because reading is so important and fun! I’ll have to count my books one of these days. March came in like a lion in most of the country – not here – so who knows how it will leave! Last night actually had tornadoes in youngest’s neck of the woods and flooding rains another part of the country. I did have 14 inches of snow in the middle of February. It was so heavy and wet that shoveling was difficult. My lovely neighbor did most of it for me, bless him. Have the rains stopped in your area? I’ve heard that it has rained every day this year so far this year in England. I hope your eye heals quickly – so glad you were able to have it done! Tara, Sage & FQ
