Cast no shadow, wheel no barrow
To quoth, T.S. Eliot once wrote “April is the cruellest month” in his seminal poem The Wasteland. Okay, that’s passed.
Green Day sang to the tune of ‘Wake me up when September Ends‘. September’s long gone too.
Then Guns N’ Roses summed it up with November Rain.
Well it’s November all right, but it’s the end of November. And this is hardly a love song.
There are so many tributes to library@orchard’s final days out there, we’re not going to start another one now. Actually I dropped by yesterday night in a sort of sombre mood, but that’s long passed too. (Took some pictures, but seeing that technology has agreed to disagree with me, I can’t quite get my phone to talk to the computer. Later.)
Today is Nov 30, the last day of library@orchard’s existence before it shuts its doors for real. Again, no tears will be shed, not for wanting, but for gazing towards the future. Tonight, there will be no silence, no quietly slipping away. As the press release informs us, library@orchard will play host to a ‘Moving On’ Party, with the place “transformed into a funky wonderland” with street performances and stage performances by local bands.
Of course, as with the library’s usual opening hours, the party’s slated to end by 9pm
Be there from 6.30pm onwards for the party, or even earlier, to give your nod of respect to the sassy dame before she appears again at *scape three years later in 2010.

Heh, thanks for this tribute, even if you didn’t intend to write one
