At the end of last year, I finally made a website to throw all my photos on. It has a shop! Sadly the shop is set up for UK customers only, but if you are international and desperately want a photo of a shield bug, let me know and I can arrange something.

It's days like this I am glad no one in my real life knows about Tumblr. Because argh.

I work in a fairly decent sized library in the North of England and, unfortunately, my shift takes in the Monday evening slot when we open until 7pm. Generally everything is pretty dead between 4 and 7pm, and we use the time to tidy up, check our emails and sort our own library accounts out (library folk are the worst for having overdue books, don't tell anyone). Today, all the weirdoes came out.

First there was the guy who spoke broken English, but what he could say was misogynistic as all get out.

Then there was the customer who asked my colleague about whether he thought he had an STI or not.

And finally there was large group of eight uncontrollable children and two adults who did not give a single solitary shit what their children did. Wander into the staff only area? Fine! Go up the (marked as unsafe) old wooden stairs to the balcony? Sure! Throw paper planes off of the aforementioned balcony? Makes sense whilst you're up there, right? Pull a really tall Silver Torch Cactus out by it's roots? Darn tootin'.

Actually, you know what? It was the adults that did that last one. Got a 40cm high Silver Torch down from the top of a bookcase and put it on one of the children's tables where eight children crowded around it and pulled it right out of its pot.

Why would you do something like that? We don't have a sign asking folk not to touch the cactus but it's quite large and prickly so we never thought we needed one.

Fuming does not cover it.
