i believe the children are our future...

...which is why i helped out at the annual Save the Children book sale at UWA this week. Well, and because i don't have anything else to do. The annual book sale is quite a big deal, with 3500 (or was it 35000) (anyway, it was a lot) boxes of books, it's one helluva book sale and runs for 5 days. So popular in fact that people were queuing 5 hours before the doors opened (i kid you not). Anyways, i had a lot of fun lugging boxes, chatting to the regular volunteers and sorting through books and managed to get quite a lot of bargain books to fill the previously empty bookshelves (oh, obv i don't need to point out that the yoga, star sign, self help, hippie dippie etc books were not chosen by moi). And the other old volunteers loved me! Although not quite as much as they loved R, whose appearance at lunchtime and coffee breaks was met with 'ooh, doesn't he look lovely' comments when we weren't quite out of earshot. He got a big gold star for bringing me coffee one morning... such a creep. So, check out the bruises i incurred whilst saving the children. I was worked like a good 'un, i can tell ya. NB. For those with a keen eye who can spot what tv show is on in the background, I was not, i repeat, NOT, watching the show. R, however was, (and he laughs out loud at it), which is why he only had the time to take one bad photo of my arms.
