I just got home from a lovely mini ( or is it Micro) meet with
Geraldine/Patworkperson. She is not an axe murderer, but brought with
her some Jelly Babies to decapitate and a lovely bar of Green & Blacks
which I was given to bring home. We chatted away for over 2 hours and
both look forward to meeting again.

The only slight downer on the evening is the owners of the pub told me
off. They said they had given me a load of decent books and I had
only bought crap books back! They have put new shelves in, which is
good, but moaned about the quality of books that had been left there
and how they wanted me to bring decent books in.

I felt quite embarassed and really feel like telling them to get lost
- I am not a bloody library! I have taken in books and left loads
behind at all the meets (3) I have had there, caffcaff left some nice
ones - nothing wrong with the quality from what I can see. The
request is for Thrillers and for familiar authors. Now do I put out
an appeal at the convention for decent books for them - or leave them
to it? I had thought the owner liked the idea of her books travelling
and that was why she gave me a bag of books(1 bag not loads!) but
obviously I misunderstood - she wants a free library of good books in
her pub so the shelves look good - grrraumph.

Luckily Geraldine brought some thrillers to leave behind - I then felt
really awkward about the books I had brought to leave there on the
shelf, as are they what they consider good, or had I taken a bag full
of crap again? Who knows, as we know here a book one person hates
another person might love. I really don;t feel like stocking that
obcz anymore now I know how fussy the owners are.
