OEDear ...

I accidentally attended a book sale today, but was very restrained and only purchased language books that I actually need for my appalling French and Italian, and a couple of history tomes, which are [Poll #1580212]And lil, thank you for your comment! I had to delete and start again because the poll was not working for me, hope it does this time!

YUMMY ICON!

And why are you not in bed, young lady?

I'm just home from Newcastle *Snore!*

Yeah, I am thinking that I should hold out until I live in a house that will actually fit it. As things are, all my oversized books shelves are crowded beyond sanity. And it would be madness to own it and not have it kept somewhere accessible ...

This is my Brammers icon, and I am not in bed because I fell asleep on the couch earlier and am not in the least bit tired now. I will regret it bitterly when SG gets up at 6am.
And while we're on the topic of language books, if you happen across an English/Welsh Welsh/English dictionary, or another Welsh language book that would be useful for someone learning the rudiments of the language, could you nab them for me (I will repay you in money or macaroons, your choice)? They are astonishingly (actually, it's not that astonishing, is it?) difficult to find down here.

I can lend you mine! I also have Middle Welsh (don't ask) if you're keen!

I think I'll start with modern Welsh, because I have a friend who speaks it and who can therefore help me with pronunciation! It would be most excellent if I could borrow yours, my dear (I will hide them from the depredations of SG, who is going through an unfortunate 'scribbling in books with crayons' phase D:)
And in the interests of showing off more of the icons I have recently wasted an appalling amount of time collecting, here is Simon Amstell in a bunny suit.
