This is Whitchurch library which we joined today. There’s a mildly interesting tale as to how we came to be here.
I watched Schindler’s List with my daughter the other day, and afterwards I was telling her about visiting Auschwitz. I was explaining about the Arbeit Macht Frei slogan over the gates. This must have logged in my head as the next day I was singing the opening lines of the Manics’ Design for Life:
Libraries gave us power/then work came and made us free
This in turn must have stuck in my daughter’s head as later she asked if we could join our library, as she wanted to get Kennealey’s Schindler’s Ark.
So here we are – Spielberg to Whitchurch library via the Manics.

The study
I have a pretty bland study – which some might say accounts for the blandness of the material that emerges from it. You can play spot the technology here: a Mac, a PC laptop, a printer, ipad, phone, iPhone, wireless router, plus assorted leads.
Back to school
My daughter started her first day at a new school today (we moved her over the summer), and it was a great success (much to our relief).
Coincidentally, my Open University study pack turned up. For the first time since 1996 I am studying an OU course – the [url=http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/course/a825.htm]MA in History[/url]. So a general back to study and learning theme for the day.
A better paperclip
My daughter has these funky paper clips which I am so going to pinch if I ever have to hand over a nice printed report to my boss.
A staple family
Yes, I’m in the office and it’s late and I haven’t taken my photo.
