I stand corrected

Rosetta, who has started blogging at 90 and has clearly had a fascinating life, has bought over 400 hundred books this year! She's also a cartographer, and thus qualifies as an honorary member of our walking gang, the Map Twats (Caer Caradoc this Saturday: it has a hill fort and may have been the site of Caractacus's final defeat by the Romans). Book-buying clearly is competitive, at least in our corner of the web. We salute you! Cool dress, by the way.

Dear Cynical Ben

Book-buying isn't a competitive sport. So leaving comments about your 157 purchases this year (does your wife know?) is unkind - and I don't have lots of 10p library sales round here. Now I'm feeling inadequate. Thanks, mate. Now I've got to go into town and buy 50-odd books to salve the hurt.
