More freelender activity

My facebook updates are another source of information and pictures of the joy I get from getting out there freelending. Jaws drop when I say 'You can borrow anything I own' to someone I've never met before. One youth then came back with 'Can I borrow all your money then?"; to which my reply was: "Of course, though for money I usually take a deposit in cash of equal value."
Anyhow leafleting in a Vue multiplex cinema in Plymouth after an Avatar viewing (my third) was an experience of note, as was Totnes leafleting /phone boxes. Today -Bristol bookshops etc.
The photo is of Karen in Totnes; borrowing the Age of Stupid 'Bonus Disc'.
Meanwhile ....setting up a new toy-library; which will be offered in one of the St Andrews Park neighbours freelender newsletters I'm producing. I was going to do this in Routh, Cardiff on Friday with a freelender-friendly parents group, then decided to keep it more local.

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?
