The pleasure of adding DVDs to freelender




Pay it forward trailer
La Veuve de Saint-Pierre

This morning, adding the films I am willing to lend to other freelenders i.e all my films, I realised there was at least a threefold pleasure in just typing them in:
  1. The pleasure of summarising in just 30 words or so what each film means to me.
  2. The pleasure of offering something I've enjoyed to others
  3. The pleasure of imagined browsing through others comments about their list of books, films etc, and then picking-up the themes of mutual interest on the threshold of my or their door.
Is this is a new development for social networking, or just a better way to do it, by lending it forward?

Housing Associations looking at freelender

There has been interest from a large housing association and we have written up a proposal that might achieve it's quickest result in terms of tenants sharing more children's equipment (pushchairs, clothes, toys), either by lending or giving in a chain. What else people most want to borrow and how to obtain it will also be researched in the plan -which can be previewed here.
