Blonde Barrow Bookworms

[Ruth Walsh]

Hi - Welcome to our first attempt at blogging! I work in Barrow-in-Furness Library, and the other blonde (Hilzee) works in Carlisle Castle Library HQ. We don't know what to say, but we are happy to talk about anything (and usually do) even quite complicated non-blonde subjects.
We just had lunch at a little cafe called Review. Food was gorgus gourgueo gor loverly and struggled to walk back to work after the amount of cake we had to eat. Almond toffee shortbread, chocolate peanut slab and lemon and lime polenta - heavenly. (and that was just Ruth's portion - Hilzee).
Check out the pictures on Flickr - we've just refurbished the children's library, and a fan of ours has posted some pics of the front door! (Must point out that we are the Real Barrow, not the Alaskan one, who gets their name from one of our local naval heroes).
Read some books if you are bored:
Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin - great chapter on why you fall over when you have a few too many 'sherbets'
100 shades of white by Preethi Nair - looking at culture through the eyes of a child
