New shelves for books stored on the floor are now built - phew, only now do I realise how many needed shelving - there are 5 shelves and about 80-90 books per shelf in total - blimey, there didn't look that many until I emptied all the nooks and crannies, corners andother surfaces. But shelving is good, I like building things, its cathartic and healthy and satisfying - and lets face it not too hard. I just screwed in the brackets, cut 3 inches of the wood and then stuck 'em up. One day I may even alphabetise the books (not - I revel in the "delightful chaos") though it was good to find my copy of Beautiful Angiola again. In the foreground of the picture (above) is my "Blue Fish" recently purchased from a local artist (Kate Lulham) goodness knows where I am going to put it - but will find a space. Its great though, you might need to click on the picture to see it better. But I am posting it now - will take a better picture later - for I must fly - Icarus-like to Edinburgh for birthdays and weddings and meetings with old friends, drouthy neighbours, sisters, brothers inlaws and outlaws - wish me sunshine. Yesterday I was reminded of this fantastic track - another Icarus song indeed, shine your mobile phone in the dark and sing along with the crowd.
