#More on Flickr

Well I didn't learn from last night and press the off button when I should have. Or tonight.
I have finally worked out after far too long how to insert a photo from Flickr into the blog. Last night my post only had a red cross. I have just cheated by re-editing and changing the link. I was using the url from "share your photos" in flickr. This time I just right-clicked on the image to get the correct url to insert. And I also have a flickr profile but more on that later Photos on Flickr. The good news is that my life is not totally being drained away by the internet. I did a real librarian type thing tonight and went to an author event at Readings to hear Patrick Gale in conversation. How to describe his novels best? Written by someone with a deeply subtle way of getting inside his characters's hearts and minds. Cressida and I spoke to him afterwards -he was unassuming, compassionate and just really nice.
The bad news is that I haven't had any time to check new Ebay listings tonight.

I love these photos. They make me want to go back to Prague to visit this library.

Hey Sara, I didn't think you were an ebay addict, what's your best buy, and do you sell on it too??
I don't allow myself on the side as I spend too much money and some stuff is just not worth it.

I just look at Masons Ironstone china (except when I have a specific need for something like an out of print book, or a specific music related tshirt for one of the girls) You can check out the search link on the blog page if you like. I do try to keep within a budget price for an item but I can see how you could get carried away in the last bidding moments.
My best bargain is the Scottish friend I made on Ebay who I visited in Edinburgh this January
