#3 First post



I think this is all going to be fun. As my title says - an excuse for self-indulgence. The desire to talk about oneself and publish is obviously innate, judging by the plethora of blogs in the world.
A word about the photo. Romantic image of self - wandering down cobbled streets in old English town in search of second hand bookshops and antique china. The Shambles is the oldest street (medieval?) in the city of York in England where I was earlier this year indulging in various of my passions. I may use this journal to record some of my experiences as an Ebay addict. As well as of course to record my Learning 2.0 activities and consider how we could use Web 2.0 to enrich the library catalogue and more.

Hi fellow addict,
Love the photo- I was in England earlier this year as well (during the floods!) and also Wales, where I found Hay-On-Wye, a small town that is known as the second hand booktore capital of the British Isles. I was in heaven, there were more bookstores than I could poke a stick at (what on earth does that saying mean?)and the secret addict rose to the fore, with credit card in hand...
Welcome to the Learning 2.0 program and I hope you enjoy the self indulgent journey, it should be fun!
Regards,
Leslie

I love the photo too. Very atmospheric. Don't the English have wonderful names for their towns?
