What an idiot...how to compare the two photos in the last blog when they are the same link...sorrrry.
Here is the Blue Mountains link. Photo taken by Yewenyi.

When searching Flickr I found I was spending masses of time just looking at the great photos...but what to write about. A search of my old home area of Wentworth brought up a diverse group of photos mainly because the Wentworth I know is in the outback as far south-west as you can go in NSW. These photos were interspersed with that other area in the Blue Mountains which is a great deal better known by the Eastern dwellers of the state.
Thanks to GrahaminMelbs who took this photo of the sandhills just outside the town of Wentworth.

Compare this photo to this one by Yewenyi that shows the beauty of the Blue Mountains near Wentworth Falls.

Two photos of natural landscape, one of wind blown sand piling into ever moving hills...great for playing in and rolling down and the other of an area of much higher rainfall and a different type of beauty.

Booksale

We finally had our booksale on Saturday and it was a great success. The Friends of the Library worked hard all day Friday setting it up and turned up again on Saturday to sell, sell, sell....
Minor disagreements at the end of the day when the Friends could not bear the thought of 'all those good books' going to the recycler. We finally compromised sending 3/4 of the remaining stock to the recyling depot and keeping the best 1/4 for sale later. Even the chap at the recycling depot tried to make us feel guilty ...didn't work. Why can't he see that old worn out English language text books that are too old for Australians are of no use to 'poor people overseas'. It is gratifying to see the respect people like this have for books but it also indicates they cannot discern what is of value and what is outdated or just unsuitable.

Today

Can't achieve anything. Everytime I try to get anywhere with a task, the phone rings or someone just pops in to ask something. Enough of frustration.
tomorrow will be a great day in my library.
