Yesterday after Pilates class*, I spent a happy few minutes rooting through a chaotic pile of discarded books -- usually for sale at 50p / £1 (proceeds to church funds), but free to good homes as the venue was running out of space. I picked up a couple of books that looked interesting, and a couple that looked ... hard to find. (There was also a lot of Jeffrey Archer. And a couple of brand new hardcover Clive Barkers.)

I am about to list one of the hard-to-finds on Amazon, at £5 or £10 under the £35 going price: I'm going to donate the (hypothetical and eventual) profit to the church.

I feel astonishingly virtuous.

*which is much less like a keep-fit class, and much more like a yoga class, than the one I used to go to in Redhill. Yay!

Virtue is overrated.

Just curious ...

Are you implying that I am, or am not a virtuous person? Think carefully before responding.

I think it would be only proper for the church to buy you a drink.

I think that's a lovely idea!

Also - free books are great.
