Book Bus

20/04/2023

Escaping & Cleo for the morning, I was restocking the Book Bus when another cat came to consider my work. (Books & cats, my life…)
To keep Cat occupied, I gave it a box to play in. Cute kitty. Ha! 😼🫣
My daughter says this cat’s called Nibbles (I know, I should know this): Ripper more like it. Shredder. Breaker of Boxes. Conqueror of Cardboard.

Took a moment out from training a new bookseller to admire the towering trees and gain some perspective on my bite-sized obstacles & itsy bitsy bus.
But what a bounty of books abound within! 🚌📚💜
Also, almost a year has passed since I posted here last 😔🙈
Will I do better over the next few weeks? 🙄
I don’t know, but I’ve made a start.
And rewarded myself with pizza.
Look at me, learning to once more 😇🤣

Boss Lady colouring coding with her Bus 🙋🏼‍♀️💜
Should have been pointing to the book on my left: missed opportunity 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
But hey, I’m here when it’s open & looking inviting! (Not just beavering away on a weekday.)
Thanks to super salesperson for spotting & capturing the Boss & Bus matchy-matchy marvellousness 💜🤗

It’s been 9 months since my last post: I’m having a shame-baby 🙈
Apologies to Brian the Book Bus, his loyal staff, customers & fellow vendors 😔

I could try and claim hibernation (again) but let’s just say that the new & improved has been totally dominating my brain this year...
But despite the radio silence, the Book Bus is still here, still open every weekend & still regularly replenished with new books 😅
Come with us 📚🤗

It’s a beautiful day at the Elgin Railway Market and I’ve got the last 6 stories of Lester Walbrugh’s brilliant debut collection , published by Karavan Press, left to read. 🤓
So looking forward to selling many many copies of this marvellous book at the launch on 21 November at Elgin Ridge Wines, when Lester will be in conversation with award-winning fellow Grabouw writer, Bettina Wyngaard.
