Ha! And - finally I have done it; at the restaurant we've hired some new staff and I've wrestled weekends off. Saturday and Sunday, specifically, and if I'm fortunate I'll be able to dovetail my other days into doubles meaning that I'll have 4 1/2 days off per week.
Which would suit me just fine.
The Saturdays off, well, I'll be able to attend the theatre, develop a better (and healthier) social life, get up to all sorts of things...
Starting today. Yayy!
Now - at the library, blogging and having done some maintenance on the database, the back-end, front-end, mentioned my uneventful and rather boring life it's time to read a bit my book of the moment - Richard Hakluyt - "Voyages and Discoveries" - rather abbreviated from it's original million and a half words to a comfortable 150, 000; a sixteenth scholars thorough documenting of all of Britains sea-voyages, often in the first person, descriptions of distant times and lands when the world - to Britain largely - was still a vast and unexplored place.
Anyways, it's great reading...

A thirteenth century hoard of Glass Bracelets found near Volodymyr, Ukraine. While treasures are abundant this was not found with a metal detector (those are found daily, world wide) - and the fragile nature of them, make this treasure rather unique.
