Up at 7.20 after several failures to lift off.
Plans for a longer ride are on hold pending spare battery recharge. I had better stay at home and continue with tidying.
10.30 No walk. I have been boxing up loose books from unwanted bookshelves. Still two bookshelves to clear. All of them random text books, reference and non-fiction. Mostly purchased from secondhand bookshops and charity shops. Collected for over half a century.
Now almost, completely worthless. Particularly being written in English while living in Denmark. I literally can't give them away. No charity shop wants them. Nor the secondhand book stores. Not the libraries or international literacy charities.
They can't be burnt in the wood stove either. Poor fuel, with the potential for toxins. Perhaps a winter bonfire? Or three, or five. Just getting them all back downstairs, in their 30-odd, large boxes will be a nightmare!
12.30 Still tidying and rearranging furniture and plants.
14.30 Still at it! I have moved into the balcony room. To try to bring some order to the chaos. I have a another steel shelving unit but it may be limited in usefulness. By the attic's, sloping ceilings.
17.00 I decided to rotate the aquarium. From against the end wall. To the same corner, but standing along the north wall. You would not believe how heavy it is on its stand/cupboard. Even with the water drained and using levers, wedges and trolleys. I was still dripping with sweat. By the time I was finished.
Dinner was mackerel in tomato sauce on toast with tomatoes.
