Books, British Library, Cafe, Library

20111206-070518.jpg

I wouldn’t mind having this view every day! I sat down in the cafe at the British Library for an afternoon treat before continuing work, and this ginormous bookshelf functioned as the southern wall. It was in fact a room in itself, as it has four walls. I wish I could have lived inside…

That is also a half-eaten muffin you see on the photo. A bit too sweet for my taste. I also had a nice, warm, cup of tea – but it was served in a paper cup. I’m not too fond of those, makes the tea taste of paper… But with this view I’d order them both again in order to just sit there and take in the the knowledge preserved in the surrounding walls. I have the best job in the whole, wide, world!

British Library, English, Language, Time line

I mentioned Stan’s list of links at Sentence First from a few days ago, and then said a few words about Venetian. One of the other links he posted was one to British Library’s Time Line of the English Language. A nice little interactive overview of the evolution of the English language. Check it out here
