Not painful where expected
Feb. 14th, 2005 11:13 amWent to B&Q; bought two cheap bookcases, one for the dining room, one for landing (or not in the end: we swapped a smaller one from the front bedroom onto the landing and put the new one in the front bedroom); assembled bookcases; sorted magazines. Looby Loo is now as hooked on stitch pr0n as I am. So there's no chance that I'm getting rid of several hundred embroidery magazines.
The results are that the bookcase on the landing is empty, the bookcases in the front bedroom are nearly full, and M replaced the poetry books and didn't put them back in alphabetic order (okay each shelf is correct, but I've never yet found "l" to be the first letter of the alphabet), Looby Loo has empty shelves (which we won't fill until after the decorators have been), and my lower arms and upper thighs have strained muscles, but my hands (after Allen-keying 48 screws) feel no worse than usual. Still, these shelves went up easier than the last set I built.
