whirligigwitchI have taken this week off as annual leave as it's Roisin's birthday on Friday. Not that I really needed an excuse, it was feeling like time for a break and a getaway from work for a little while. It's been fine lately, if not particulary challenging, but that's mosly due to the fact that I've been at quieter branches.
David is in the middle of a project on Roisin's room. He is building a storage area and shelves for the end of the bed. it's a funny, small room with a sloped area at the end of the bed, near the door, and it's dead space. Some neat storage with a hinged lid which will provide a flat surface for drawing etc will do wonders for the room. I hope. It should mean that we can get it a bit tidier. The living room needs a blitz as well but that seems like an overwhelming task. Must sort out some clothes to give to the charity shop as I just don't have enough storage space. It's not like I have mountains of clothing, either!
In preparation for putting the books on the new bookshelves, I carted all R's books down to the living room yesterday and put them on LibraryThing. It did nothign for the chaos in the living roombut gave me great satisfaction. It is very sad that I thorouhly enjoyed doing it, I am supposed to be on holiday from that sort of thing! It makes me wish I was working in our Materials section as I love that sort of work. We usually just import cataloguing data though so it's not too exciting.
I want to start all David and my books now. That would definitely need a paid/lifetime account as there's no way in hell we have fewer than 200 books ;-) There turned out to be 105 in Roisin's library. Some of her Thomas board books were part of a set from The Book People or suchlike, I need to manually add the remaining 8. Two of said books suffered from a juice spillage so are not in a good state. I suspect one is unreadable and if so, it's going out. There will be a few more to add when they turn up in the great living room tidy of 2007.
The kitchen reeks of gloss paint now. Even though the door is closed the smell has permeated the whole house. The shelves and box have been painted in white gloss but need another coat before it's all put into place. The odour might make my MIL's visit shorter than usual!
