Perfectly Ordinary

Had a fine morning at Jurong Regional Library. Got down to the vicinity in which the library is located quite early and enjoyed a cuppa at Ya Kun before meeting our guys to set up for the performance. Then enjoyed watching the busy-ness of the library enact itself in what I would imagine to be the highly satisfactory routine of an ordinary Saturday morning. Lots of kids around, most with parents; a fair number of old folks, men mainly, ensconcing themselves amongst the periodicals, which I assume they can't afford to buy to read at home. Or maybe they are just there for the company?

I suppose our performance was part of the routine. The library seem keen to get schools in to use their very handy Programme Zone to put up various items. It was heartening to be working alongside the staff & kids from Kent Ridge Secondary - and I think they found the experience rewarding.

So there we were, creating something happily communal, really for no better reason than the simple, ordinary, deep pleasure of sharing it. A perfect morning, all told.
