As I was saying...

For the last few years I've had my own blog, called "Editorial" on my website. It's been a place for photos, comments, opinions, holiday diaries. Now I have been persuaded that it will be a lot less work (and look better) if I put it all on a professional site like this one. So here goes. The old Editorials will still be accessible from my website.

One of this differences between that and this is that there will be able to be some comeback here. Not sure I like the idea. Pontificating from a pulpit without any chance of being contradicted is more my style, but this may be better. And maybe no-one will read this anyway, let alone make comments on it.

This probably won't link to my website in the first instance, so a brief intro to bridge the gap. I sell secondhand theological books on the web. Its a funny way to make a living - I'll be commenting on that as I go along. My views on the world will come out in due course as well.

The website itself is at www.lundbooks.co.uk

Drove to Aylesbury today. Took nearly two hours. Satnav (Miss Piggy is what I call her - a very domineering woman) worked fine for once - getting me there. Once I tried to use it to come home it seized up and insisted that I had to download the software again, which of course I couldn't being out in the bush. But now I am home it is working fine. That's satnav for you.

The whole reason for the journey was to look at some books on offer. When I arrived the owner announced I had to take them all if I took any. A stupid thing to say. Pointless my buying a carload of books when there were about a dozen at most that were worth anything to me. So I took none of the mostly dirty, creased, tumbled-together collection.

Fortunately wasted trips like this are rare - I usually manage to sort out the chaff from the wheat before I get as far as travelling halfway across the country. But he had promised Barth. Barth? There were no books by him at all.
