Another excursion by Colonel Proger

[elingregory]

Our museum ghost is back, damn his incorporeal eyes. I had a bit of a 'thing' when I locked up last night - I'm not psychic, I'm NOT, I just have an overactive imagination. sudden chills and odd noises and the intense feeling of someone following me up the cellar steps are par for the course when locking up a building with nine hundred and some odd years of mayhem bleeding out of the stones.

Except ... I had an alarm triggered early this morning when a door - that I swear was shut last night - opened. So maybe Colonel Proger, a 17th century gentleman who made his prescence felt in the 1990s, is back or we have a new kid on the block.

*sigh* I don't like having to get up at silly o'clock and yomp around the museum in the dark.

I'm going to cheer myself up with silliness. Click the picture for a feast for the eyes - totally inappropriate bookcovers that have actually been used:

Oh dear, I'm sorry the Colonel (or who- or whatever opened that door) forced you to come to the museum in the dark. But the book covers are priceless - I think I especially like the "Scarlet Pimpernel" one with the random kitten.

I sympathise with you about the Colonel. I used to work in a girl's boarding school in a big old house that was supposed to be haunted, and I always had to pretend to the girls that I wasn't scared. I don't believe in ghosts but in the early hours of the morning you tend to start hedging your bets! Loved the book covers. My favourite is 'Turn of the Screw'.

Love The Turn of the Screw, which is clearly a DIY book.

Tell Colonel Proger to get a life.

*realises what have just typed. Lols*

I don't suppose you can persuade Wilf to accompany you a fearless guard dog can you?

Those book covers are priceless! I think Cranford is my favourite :) Just to prove bewildering book covers are nothing new, a work colleague recently discovered this (http://www.bridgemanart.com/asset/239281/Hugo-Valentine-nee-Gross-1890-1968/Illustration-for-'Wuthering-Heights'-by-Emily-Bron?search_context={%22url%22:%22\/search%3Ffilter_text%3Dbronte%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%22,%22filter%22:{%22filter_text%22:%22bronte%22,%22filter_searchoption_id%22:%222%22,%22filter_assetstatus_id%22:1,%22filter_prev_text%22:%22bronte%22},%22num_results%22:%22109%22,%22sort_order%22:%22best_relevance%22,%22search_type%22:%22search_assets%22,%22item_index%22:31}) utterly fabulous 1946 illustration for Wuthering Heights Friendship Is Magic XD

Some incredible covers there.

And I finally have the library DVD of Resistance to watch this weekend.
