Office supplies

In an effort to add a little colour and personalise my at present rather drab new work abode, I pinned up these four postcards - featuring artwork by Clinton Watkins, Claire Cooper and Simon Esling; and a postcard sent from my grandmother while she was holidaying in Florence in 1990.

Soon my office (the fact I have an office to myself is still a foreign concept) will be the 'library triage': full of forlorn books needing immediate medical attention - broken spines, torn pages or loose leaves, as one of my duties is to mend and tend to damaged books, surely one of the funnest responsibilities of a library assistant.
