Our first meeting of the year at Jen R's.
I love the titles for 2010. I managed to pick up 8 books - 2 new and 6 second hand through www.BetterWorldBooks.com
"Better World Books is a for-profit social enterprise that collects used books and sells them online to raise money for literacy initiatives worldwide. We offer great bargains on used books - over 6 million used and new titles, with free shipping anywhere in the U.S. and just $3.97 worldwide. What’s more, you love cheap used books and so does the environment – when you buy used, you save books from landfill and conserve resources."
The total cost was $US84 including postage. If I purchased the books new from a local bookstore I would only bought 4 for that price. Bargain and it's helping a worthy cause.
I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions this year!

34/365 - Afternoon tea
Busy day - took Mum for tests. She's nearly 81 and parts are beginning to wear out. I'm hoping that when I take her back to the doctor on Friday for the results it'll all be good.
I caught up with my friend Cornelia for coffee - we haven't seen each other since she became a grandmother. Can't believe my friends are becoming grandparents. We don't seem old enough.
Cornelia's youngest daughter is getting married and the cake pictured was a contender for the wedding cake however it was far too rich. It provided a good subject for my 365 project.
Cornelia's recently renovated a property they own as a holiday rental. We had a quick visit and it's just beautiful - right in the middle of Kiama with views to Surf Beach. http://www.stayz.com.au/68019
