I think I left my library book on the train on Friday. I didn't think I was particularly absorbed in it but I wanted to read some more today...and that was the only book I wanted to read! I looked at my TBR pile and didn't want any of those!!Hopefully I can call Lost Property on Monday. If it's not there I am going to have to tear the house and the car apart looking for it!
Fast forward 3 hours.....I am now pretty sure that I took it back to the library by mistake this afternoon.....it is now checked in, so I have had to put a request in so that I can get it back again and hopefully finish reading it!!! Oh my goodness, my head hurts!! LOL!!!
In other news, I planted some tomatoes, zucchini (courgettes) and strawberries last week, and they're not dead yet!! Yay!
Well, on the bright side you didn't actually lose the book and have to pay for it!
ReplyDeleteWell done on keeping your garden alive for a week - you're doing better than I've ever done!!

It's quite an achievement for me too actually! Might end up with vegetables yet!
ReplyDeleteLOL I would have gone mad if I thought I left a library book somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI tried strawberries once. I had one plant and it had one big fat juicy strawberry (I think it only had one because it was late in the season). Anyway, I was waiting for that strawberry to become ripe-and a damn rabbit beat me to the punch. The damn rabbit only ate half of it, it left the other half on the plant.
If you can't remember having returned it yourself, maybe you did leave it on the bus and a nice bus rider saw it and returned it for you? That happens quite a bit at our library, that someone comes to the customer service desk to return a book someone else lost. One lady found a bunch of books that had been left behind by the previous homeowners when she moved into her house. She brought them in and offered to pay for the overdue charges too. That's a nice customer!
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of you Australians right now. You're only now getting into the summer season! It's cold and rainy here in Canada.
Ames, I was going mad looking for it I tell you!! Darn rabbits better not get any of them...of course, I have to keep it alive long enough.
ReplyDeleteKristina, once I thought about it I am sure that I took it book! I took back 5 books instead of 4. Funny thing is I stood at the returns spot and checked each of the books I was returning to make sure that I hadn't left any bookmarks in, and proceeded to just take the bookmark out and put it in the returns slot without even realising!
Glad I'm not the only one who is a notoriously misplacer. I can loose things without moving from my seat. It's a strange talent.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it and, thank goodness, that it was safe.
LOL - wasn't it you that did this not too long ago? It is so the kind of thing I do too.
ReplyDeleteA while ago I was insistent that I had returned a book and then found it again a few weeks later!
ReplyDeleteMan, I lose books I am reading all the time. The book about Canada I mentioned on my own blog walked away for about two weeks, but I found it today and can go back to speaking glowingly of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI would be upset if it was one that I owned, but not completely panicking as I was with this one because it isn't my book!
ReplyDeleteall fingers and toes crossed for plants. Makes walking tough and typing but hey for a friend....your strawberries ought to put out runners and create another plant and then it.... I planted 3 way back and have a decent little plot now. I have old shoe wrack dismantled placed over plants and fruit to deny the Crows. Ain't got no rabitts here
ReplyDeleteWhew!
ReplyDeleteLucky you on the strawberries. I've been meaning to plant them...right now I have a raspberry patch that's overgrowing its patch and I don't want to get rid of them. I love raspberries.
I love fresh strawberries. Unfortunately I was born with two black thumbs, so anything I try to grow shrivels up and dies.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found out where the book was ~ hopefully you won't have to wait too long to get it back.
Good for you on the gardening and so glad to hear you found your book! I'd be worried sick if I lost a library book. Unfortunately, our library is pretty awful and I end up buying nearly everything I read.
ReplyDeleteI have strawberries but we have to feed beer to the slugs or we won't get a thing - no rabbit problems, just slugs and birds. This year, we let the garden fill with weeds as nobody was in the mood to deal with it.
Incidentally, I've been hoping I'd find your blog, again. I visited your blog via a comment you made and then couldn't remember where you'd commented and didn't find my way back for a while - and then you were on vacation. Mind if I add you to my bloggy links? I love your blog. It looks like you've recently read some books that are on my TBRs. Cool!
Devonna, I pretty much have black thumbs as well!! That's why I was so pleased that they have survived so far!
ReplyDeleteBookfool, it would be great if you could add me to your links!
I really6 should put my own links back up!!
Thank you, Marg!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just finished My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin, the other day. It has me yearning to read more Australian lit but, boy, is it hard to find things by Australian authors, here! I'll have to shop online. I've still never finished John Marsden's Tomorrow When the War Began series because I only could find hardbacks with ugly covers in the U.S. I want the pretty paperbacks!!
I have to admit that I am not as good on Australian authors as I should be! I am going to make reading more of them one of my goals for next year!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you found the book. If it not the library books I lost, than it would be the video movies instead *sigh*...
ReplyDeleteI would go crazy if it the book I own that got lost, too :)
OMG if you would have left that on the train that would have been a goner for sure. I don't think we even have a Lost & Found dept. Nobody returns anything they find. LMAO. :-P
