The First Cruise

Having purchased my little friend primarily to allow me to take a virtual pile of literature on holiday, I was a bit dismayed to find Arthur Ransome's classic, "Racundra's First Cruise" only available in hardback! Strewth. Something will need jettisoned from the case to make way for it. Perhaps I could downsize my swimwear? How many linen handkerchiefs will I really need? Just when it was coming together too.
I was actually going to blip the office as this is our last week there - but I was too busy, and when the last meeting had finished, I'd had quite enough of the place and just legged it to the bus. There's always tomorrow, you lucky people.
