Old Library

Had to pay the Old Library a visit today, because all the advocacy books at the Law Library had been snapped up for Easter, and I had to use the old law editions at the Old Library. Was slightly resentful at first, because I didn't want to trudge all the way there. But it turned out to be a very nice experience! Its was nice and deserted (because no one cares about old books) and it gives me a kick walking around the basement, among rows and rows of old books, with no one else to share/spoil the moment.

How about some tea?

Term has very abruptly come to an end, and I suddenly find myself with free time. (haven't had that in awhile!) I've been reflecting on how term has been, and I realised that I can just oddly sum it up with one word. Efficient. Gone were those countless days where I spent daydreaming, wondering and wandering. :) It's nice to have some me time now, with a good book and a cuppa tea for company.

Spring's here!

Doesn't like how this feels.

2 Peter 1:5-9

"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sin."

Hello old friend.

I always come back here when I feel angsty and need some form of release.
