Comments for The Travelling Bookbinder in Antarctica http://rachelhazellisaway.wordpress.com Rachel Hazell is a bookbinder, book artist and iceberg fanatic. The opportunity to spend six months in Antarctica - stamping 80,000+ postcards and counting penguins - was just too good to turn down. "I see icebergs as vast sheets of paper."

I've just been memed (no, I didn't know what it was either, I suspect), and am now meming you, if that's ok. It works like this: 1. Pick up the nearest book. 2. Open to page 123 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you. And what I wrote in my blog (www.yellow-lightedbookshop.co.uk), was: The next three sentences of the nearest book with that many pages (the nearest are actually a large pile of very well loved and tatty picture and board books) are: ‘I hope the silly asses won’t be hopping out here to save me’, she thought. ‘That’d spoil everything.’ She went full speed ahead, nearly doubled up on her kitchen knives. The shore didn’t seem to come any nearer.’ Little My is out skating on the breaking ice (in Moominland Midwinter). One of my favourite bits of writing ever comes on the next page, as Moomintroll, trying to rescue Little My (un-necessarily), is about to end up in the freezing water: ‘Too-ticky stood looking on for a while, and then she went inside the bathing-house and put a kettle of water on the stove… “It’s always like this in adventures. To save and be saved. I wish somebody would write a story sometime about the people who warm up the heroes afterwards”. A great, great book, Moominland Midwinter, I totally love it. Rachel, I do hope that you don't mind my meming. Take care, and thanks for a great blog. Hi Rachel,

Love your blog and always keep an eye on it.

I’ve just been memed (no, I didn’t know what it was either, I suspect), and am now meming you, if that’s ok. It works like this:

1. Pick up the nearest book.

2. Open to page 123

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

And what I wrote in my blog (www.yellow-lightedbookshop.co.uk), was:

The next three sentences of the nearest book with that many pages (the nearest are actually a large pile of very well loved and tatty picture and board books) are:

‘I hope the silly asses won’t be hopping out here to save me’, she thought. ‘That’d spoil everything.’ She went full speed ahead, nearly doubled up on her kitchen knives. The shore didn’t seem to come any nearer.’

A great, great book, Moominland Midwinter, I totally love it.

Rachel, I do hope that you don’t mind my meming.

Take care, and thanks for a great blog.
