BookFair pt2

I like book faires. I got two full gren shoping bags ful of fantasy and sci-fi books for less than $60. I got more than forty all up XD

I also went tourist shopping and spent nearly $100 on a tea set, I"ll try to add the picture when I get home, currently I'm at a friends. The teapot itself is about two-thirds the size of a dinner plate wide but only about 6cm tall. Its white with branches of a sakura tree in full bloom on it and a small kanji poem (I'm guessing its a poem anyway) in black on it. It's sooooooo pretty, and came with three cups, but five bowls - tell me the logic in that one.

Anyway it was awesome to get all the books - I got a cop of Faust but I'm not sure who wrote that particular version, there are apparently a lot of them. Badly set out, though, all the books were just set out everywhere. No set out at all, romance next to life-style next to sci-fi next to comedy next to fantasy. Rinse, mix and repeat for twenty trestle tables.

The host for the weekend was a friend of Father's, a very nice man, if a little neurotic. HE has a chocolate lab x kelpie that is fully as strange as he is and adopted me - even to the point of snapping at Father when he made an expansive gesture that apparently came to close to hitting me. His eight-week old kitten decided I was the newest style of jungle gym and spent the weekend alternately climbing/attacking/cuddling me and attacking a piece of wool Mummy crocheted for her.

All in all, a very productive fun weekend. I have until Friday off from wok, so I"m thinking that I'll stay here for a few days then head home.
