Yes, three cheers for Lommy's secret door! May her thrushes ever thrive, and may the sun shine on the keyholes, even if it's not Durin's Day...

I assign the Helsinki metropolitan area library service.
I have had the French Fellowship of the Ring loaned since September or October and this far, I've renewed the loan five times, which is the maximum. So on Monday, I went to a library, rather sad, for I hadn't managed to finish the book and I had to return it. Besides, I had just picked it up again and I had the feeling I would finish it soon if I could just keep it for a week or two. I went to the desk and paid some old debts *mumbles something about returning books a bit late*. Then I asked the librarian about the FotR. She said I can't renew the loan anymore, because the book has to return to the library after five renewals. However, as I had the book with me (as I had intended to return it), she just looked that it was ok, apparently made some marking on the library database and I was allowed to loan the book again right then. I love flexible systems and user-friendly service, especially as they are quite rare these days.

That's nice.
 I just today had a very similar experience with returning books whose loan time I extended for the maximum, and still didn't finish one of them. But I must point out something in reaction to you:Quote:

Soapboxes, on luxuriously lazy and leisureful holidays.
And now that spring is finally sprung, I embrace its hope and hope that someday soon our mountains of snow will melt. Happy Easter/Equinox to all the Downers. This too belongs in The Shire.

And a very happy what ever is culturally appropriate to you too, most Shire-worthy Bethberry...

Being childishly delighted of small things.
Such as having a bus splash mud water on you, making a snowman, and getting your clothes wet and snow into your boots. And I feel like re-assigning snow and sunshine, although it's already dark and the snow is probably melting...

First glimmers of spring...
Yesterday was the first day I could:
turn off the central heating during the day, wear my "new" (bought in January - it seems I might be an optimist after all)summer slingbacks for the first time even if just for a party. Ok this meant attacking my hobbity feet with something you might use on horses' teeth and mucking around with fake tan but so what .. I am so bored of my winter clothes. think of planting stuff out. I also assign really nice meals (Beef Wellington and Raspberry Roulade ... bliss) and good company.

I assign sunshine and warmth and the fact that I (almost) don't have anything I have to do. Freedom! If I could fly, I would.

I assign meeting old friends discovering you still can talk to them rightaway and more fluently than to other "newer" people you know. Also I assign meeting hedgehogs who live among the blocks; and last of all I assign good things you can't get out of your head.
I would assign Roger Waters, but not sure how they'd cope with him in the Shire... or maybe actually how he would cope with them. Although, looking at it, there are lots of other things which would also look strange in there...
