This weekend I 'ave been mostly ...

... clearing books.

    It was time to tackle the study: pretty much all fifty feet of shelving there was double-stacked and there were piles on the floor; everything was dusty. Now all is clean, clear, and calm! 150 books have gone to charity, 100 to another room, and the rest have been reorganised. There are still many hundreds elsewhere in the house to be sorted but we'll leave those for another day.
