Would-be guest blogger: Hz

Mamma took me out today. She thought that my eyes had looked at the screen too long. We went to a place we go to fairly often. It's OK there, they have screens, you know. I managed to start up Explorer on a couple of the pooters but couldn't get to my favourite site. It kept giving this boring white screen with slots you could type those letter thingies in. The ladies who work there use this website all the time. I don't know why, it's totally unexciting. Anyway I decided to shut down all the computers in the place, bar one which was being used by another big person. The big people twittered to themselves as I skillfully manipulated the mouse. Really, all it takes is regular practice.
Then I found some strange shaped plastic items with big letters printed on them,which occur periodically on the shelves which house those rectangular cardboard things with paper inside. They were good for throwing, and generally scattering around the joint. However Mamma seemed anxious, the beads of sweat beginning to form on her brow, as she quickly slot them back inbetween the cardboard-covered things which this place is completely chocablock with.
The best thing today was the spinning rack full of CDs. If you spin it hard enough they all fly out and Mamma joins me in the pick-up-the CD game very willingly.
So I did like the trip out today, although the place could be improved by replacing those cardboard rectangles for something a bit more stimulating. Really, they take up most of the space. Now what was the name of that place, oh yes, the laibree.

Assalamualaykum,
It's tiring just thinking about it really!

salaam alaikum...
I love the rectangular thingies... there is a lot of useful information in there (and useless... depends which rectangle thingy you pick up). My son doesnt like the cd pick-up game... he likes the "open all the dvds and throw them on the floor" game. Ah well, each to their own I guess! (you should try that game next time inshaAllah, A-LOT more fun!!!)

umm muhammad- wa aleikom asalam wa rahmatullah, obviously the library staff have had too much of that game and so the actual DVD discs are hidden behind the counter. There's only so much fun to be had with DVD cases;) UmmSuhayb
