JENNINGS SCHOOL DAYS 1950's ... Open Book Covers presented by BB

for-word

It was one of those hum drum casual days of relative ease and it saw me humming away as i sipped my early morning coffee which by the way was made with milk. Well that's the way i sometimes like it. 

Far gone are the days of my far away military use, and the rationed hot water in that strong dark coffee, or sweet tea us 'British Grunt's' got used to in the end.    As that Sunday morning skipped along the old wind up clock tried hard to keep up the pace, and i,m sure it missed a few seconds from every minute  but i cared little for it because of it being much older than myself.                                                                      

                                                            

The day its self being an unusual Sunday was without a Meeting on Zoom, for it was a certain fact we had,had  one on the Saturday before it so i gathered the free space up; and began typing this simple but  short viewed  topic based upon the books on shuffled presentation here.                                                      

It being my aim to print these tiny books out for my hobby  come lately  very old and dusty Library, a scratch build of cut to size fantasy on my part because there is no such building but there are shelving units of the oddest of archway display against invisible walls that stand likewise without real floors beneath them.  i,,, guess all in all, it is just a bright eyed figment of my own shaping imagination? Well at 75 i am very glad i still have one.

                   Often, quite often the library sleeps in the deepest shadows it has sealed up tight.

Painting the archway shelving system is still ongoing,,, but like always i am awaiting delivery of a bucket  full of acrylic paint. It dries quicker than other coloured stuff one might well buy.
