Abbots Hospital

An early start for me today for my bi-annual trip to the dentist at the top of town.  Luckily, The Boy had the appointment before mine, so he picked me up on his way from Alton. 

I don't normally go into Guildford town centre so early, so I (somewhat selfishly) found it frustrating that many places were not open early, with many only opening between 9.30am and 9.45am.  So I ended up missing a number of places that I wanted to go into, although I did pop into the library to return four books and take out a further three.  Still, I can always walk back into town later in the week at a more sensible time to visit everywhere I missed today.

This snap of Abbots Hospital was taken from the slope outside Holy Trinity Church and I rather liked the old telephone box at the bottom of the shot.  However, it seemed sad that all the telephony equipment had been removed - it would make a good book nook in the centre of town.  Onslow Village (where I live) has turned the old phone box into a Book Nook, which is proving very popular with the residents and seems to be a great attraction for the young children who are always popping in and out to change books.  What a great way to introduce them to the joy of books.

Thought for the day:

"Choose Joy...Don't wait for things to get easier, simpler, better.  Life will always be complicated.  Learn to be happy right now.  Otherwise, you'll run out of time."  (Unknown)
