Frozen wastelands
Billy Meredith walks by, doing as close to an impersonation of Ernest Shackleton as I ever want to see at the workplace. The mobile library's heating packed in six years ago so it's going to be a nippy sort of day for them and their customers. Especially seeing as the vehicle's so dilapidated these days that the customers elect to stand outside to have the books handed out to them.

Rather Ernest Shackleton than Robert "Falcon" Scott any day - man-hauling a mobile library, anybody?
Needs to get his Damart on....
Madame DeF: I think somebody should be sitting on the naughty step. :)
savannah: indeed
Gadjo: Pardendale beat us in the bidding war for Amundsen's ponies.
libby: don't think he hasn't!

Damn. Just snorted porridge at the dog...
Gap in the floor? What's wrong with him? Just stick a few books over it.
He should try our triple aspect, unglazed, picture windows. That'd make his eyes water.
Macy: you spoil that dog. :)
Pat: they may be triple aspect, unglazed, picture windows to you but they're the windscreen for these poor devils.
