I had to look him up on Wiki and as soon as I did, I realized I'd looked him up a few months ago due to reading a post on him at another blog. Apparently he has lots of admirers despite his short stay on the mortal plane.<BR/><BR/>Michele sent me over, Pat.utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-34189681737876834672007-02-23T16:25:00.000+00:002007-02-23T16:25:00.000+00:00Hi Carolyn! that phrase resonated with me also - ...Hi Carolyn! that phrase resonated with me also - especially with regard to him.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-68772886304828453452007-02-23T15:37:00.000+00:002007-02-23T15:37:00.000+00:00'Magnificently unprepared,For the long littleness ...'Magnificently unprepared,<BR/>For the long littleness of life.’<BR/><BR/>I love that line!

We have another - so old it uses f's for s's. That certainly could do with a camphor rub. As Sanm says 'OOh Matron!'<BR/> Your Gran's poem is great - I'll try it on the kids at Easter.

I was told this by an antique book dealer. He said that the oil from your hands stops the leather from drying out and crumbling. It also helps the paper inside the same way. If you have a leather covered book that is dry and flaking then rub a small amount of camphor oil on your hands and gently rub them over the book. Never put the oil directly onto the book, and never, never use Vaseline, that destroys leather!<BR/><BR/>You can pay me later!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://uk.geocities.com/g8sum/weblog.html" REL="nofollow">Grumpy Keith</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-50283814989328525932007-02-21T23:21:00.000+00:002007-02-21T23:21:00.000+00:00hi DQ!
