Happy Belated Friday!
Its been raining off and on today so haven't done much outside. If I'm honest, I haven't done much inside either. Been having a serious think about the small 3rd bedroom which is full of books. They're piled on top of the double bed and, if anyone needed to sleep there, it would take about a week to move the books off the bed.
I can't remember the last overnight visitor here so I've decided to get rid of the bed and turn the room into a library/study.
Yesterday I acquired a 3 shelf bookcase and spent today moving books off the bed, folding it in two and tucking it in a corner until I can arrange for it to taken away. The bookcase is now filled with books (all gardening, countryside, wildlife, foraging ones) but I still need to sort out some of the random stuff that was dumped on the bed - my beekeeping outfit and a straw skep for swarm catching, a press for extracting juice when wine making, the enormous Family Bible, a navy boiler suit from my Civil Defence days in the bunker, countless boxes and albums of photos from long forgotten holidays, piles of letters, folders and documents from family history research and, just for Vinny, a cuddly toy.
That lot is still in a heap on the floor!
Maybe tomorrow I can sort some of that stuff............but not if its dry and sunny.
