I headed to the library this week to get some work done. Loaded up on coffee and water. Sat my big bum down in the stuffy little chair. Plugged in my Mac. Put on my geek glasses. And went to work.
Two hours later I'd drank all of my coffee. All of my water. Figured I'd refill on the way back from the restroom.
Only there was no restroom. Anywhere. In the entire library. I figured my geek glasses were messing with my eyesight. Asked the receptionist where the library was hiding it.
The directions were less than clear. But they included words and phrases like, "outside," "around cathedral grounds," "down alley," "public loos," and "just a few coins."
Um. No thanks.
i wish we displayed books like this. pictures via a book lover never goes to bed alone.

Mad, isn't it? Almost as if they don't want you to stay long ... (especially those of us who depend on a caffeine fix topped up with lots of water to get through morning & early afternoon - yes, me too!). But it's not the same everywhere, eg there are public loos in the main central library in Bristol; ditto in Bury St Edmunds. Just varies a bit from place to place (as I expect you've found England does, despite being so small). Not much comfort to you, tho' ...
Have enjoyed reading your blog, & love the pix. Amitiés from expat Brit in France.

Ha! God bless you. Isn't that the worst feeling in the world? I think having to use the bathroom after coffee is the worst! Painful on the bladder.
When I first moved to belgium I couldn't understand the idea of paying for the bathroom, though we had "WC's" - blew my mind. You ARE getting a clean seat, which, is totally worth anything in my book.
