I need a duvet day !

Thank goodness it's Saturday tomorrow, I am in dire need of a duvet day ! We are preparing our Library Bulletin for publication next week and I, for my sins, do the preparing ! It has been particularly tricky this time with lots of interference from 'above' and has convinced Gwen and I, if we hadn't been convinced before, that a Library Blog is what's required. After all the hassle I've had, I need gin, chocolate and my duvet in that order !
However, I have finished all my assignments and commented on everyone else's so I feel a bit smug. I have put my Del.icio.us bookmarks in my portfolio but keep finding more things I want to share - social bookmarking can be very addictive ! so my 'at least ten' has become 'a lot more than ten' I hope Bertha is impressed ! reading through everyone's assignments I have been struck by how much we've all gained from this course and how knowledgable we all seem at the end of it. I suppose the proof of the pudding will be how many Blogs/Wikis and Podcasts spring up in the New Year.
The title of my Blog has always puzzled Bertha, but I feel that I have struggled out of the gas age and bypassed the electronic, nuclear and space ages to land firmly in the virtual age with a reasonable amount of confidence, which is very satisfying.

Meanwhile it has been a bit of an up and down week at home. We have lost a member of the older generation, a good friend and an elderly gerbil - these things always come in threes ! However TOH has been to France to get lots of nice wine and other goodies for Christmas and number 2 son has been given a kitten. It should be an interesting weekend !

Now what shall we call the kitten...................Wiki ????
