A blog post without much lucidity
December 18th, 2009 by Becky
Vanessa and I looked at each other one day last week and were both completely unable to form a coherent sentence: such is the world of working in retail near Christmas. (Don’t misunderstand me, we’re definitely grateful for the rush of customers, but it doesn’t make for chipperness at the end of the day.)
Therefore, have a peek at the following pretty pictures in lieu of deep and meaningful thought. Because frankly, there’s not much of that left right now!
Firstly, on the publishing side, Vanessa mentioned yesterday that Jill’s Gymkhana is finally here. Well, here it is on the shelf. You are allowed to coo in admiration, if you so wish.
On the bookshop front, we have Peter Pan gracing our Christmas window, because it’s currently on at The Lyceum (and we because also love this new pop-up edition of it).
On a completely non-work topic, remember this post? Well, I take back my indictment of winter a little, because even though I felt like I’d had my legs anaethetised by the time I got to work, Edinburgh was looking quite picturesque this morning with its light dusting of snow.
I’ve knitted this scarf (the first thing I’ve done without dropping a single stitch- yay!) for my mum, but I’m now sorely tempted to wear it myself…
As Vanessa and Malcolm are The Best Bosses in the World (TM), today was my last day at work before Christmas. So from me at least, I hope everyone reading has a lovely break, and see you (or interact with you?) in 2010.
So you will not see this until you get back Becky? Hope you had a great Christmas. The Peter Pan window is just right.
More pictures I see of the shop the more I want to visit!
Lovely scarf! And have a fantastic holiday with your folks.
Every time I read the words Jill’s Gymkhana Ithink of the Vicar of Dibley and the last episode when Alice said it was one of her favourite books!!!
