Just the "concise" Oxford English Dictionary? I thought you'd have gone all out and moved your furniture out of the house so you could get the unabridged version.
A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a birthday gift - The Anthology of Australian Literature. It's sheer bliss to me, containing excerpts of our best writing since 1788, the beginning of white occupation here. There are so many carrots for this donkey. Our best books, poems, speeches, essays et al. Problem: one just gets hooked and the excerpt ends! Now my local library has a list of 'must haves' a mile long.
Every poem demostrates the love, compassion and good will human being. In fact i read a wonderful poem few time ago. I really loved. That´s why i think this blog is very interesting, most of all for the people who enjoy the poems. I saw costa rica investment opportunities recently, it was a great site and i want to share it for you.
See those reading glasses resting comfortably beside your writing tools? Yeah. I just bought myself a pair.

Are those paint tubes or prescription ointments?
