Moving furniture
Apr. 7th, 2005 11:19 amWe're long past the stage where friends and relations offer you furniture, and you say "Yes, please" automatically; now there isn't really room for anything new to come into the house without something going out first, and we say "No, thanks" equally automatically.
With one exception: bookcases.
So there's just been a massive reshuffle in the spare bedroom, to set up Jackie's cast-off bookcases, and I'm busy re-shelving the crime and the fantasy. And when that's done, the bookcase from the study can go into the sitting room and take the poetry, and the bookcase from the hall can come to my study, because its shelves are tall enough to take comics, and the question then is whether the bookcase that used to hold the crime fiction will take the maps, or whether they'll slide out from the open shelves.
Given that only one shelf-full of books can be moved at a time, and that at no time may any book be placed on top of a smaller book, how long until the end of the world?
I took advantage of all this moving stuff about to shove the bed out of the way and hoover underneath it: found not one, but two pairs of glasses lurking there. My guess is, they're Skip's (anyone else would surely have said "I seem to be missing a pair of glasses" (or two).
