Got rid of an old bedside cabinet, and a cabinet that housed old tapes, videos and my LPs. Now I have to find storage for the Lps etc. However I plan to sort some more space in the study shelves and put them there.

I got my friend to help me haul the cabinets off to the local council dump, and the guy there looked at them and said they could go to be reused in social housing and the like. That made me feel better about getting rid of them. I just wish my deltoid insertions felt the same!

I am getting packed up for Whitby at the moment, but I intend to get cracking again in a week or so...

I unpacked Ian's cross country skis, which have been languishing in bubble wrap in a corner of the study ever since they got shipped back from Moscow a year ago. I have moved them to the dining room and propped them up against the dresser. At least they will make a conversation piece! I don't ski, and have no intention of doing so. They may end up on Ebay.
