Drop number 3! Where do the weeks go?!

This week Mrs R wasn't going to be in for the drop, so we had arranged for me to collect the books from outside her front door in the secure premises. I had chosen a selection of books myself, collected one book on request, and was offered a couple of suggestions by the very helpful librarians; which I latterly heard were a great selection.

As we were to skip a catchup, Mrs R left a note with her thoughts on the previous selection; which was a delightful surprise! I too had left a note in the new week's selection with some info about the books, and some pictures about the alpaca's at the farm I work at (following up on a discussion we had had on the previous drop) - inlcuding news of 2 new babies (cria!).

A few days later we had a quick catchup on the phone and chatted about books for the next drop. There were a fair few questions about the alpacas too, which I was very happy to answer!
