Or, advanced room tetris.

I didn't have a lot of concrete plans for today, other than let the gas engineer in to service the boilers. In order to get at the upstairs boiler in my computer room, the BIG bookcase had to be moved.

That's one of the parts of the room that still had carpet, and it really made no sense to move the bookcase out of the corner and not get rid of the carpet, so I did that after the engineer left (both boilers have a clean bill of health, thankfully).

Then I removed the carpet from under the desk (not made easier by the fact that the desk falls apart when you try to move it), cleaned everything off the top of the desk and sorted out the contents of the drawers (and threw most of it away). The floorboards are pretty bad; it doesn't look like restoring & finishing is going to be an option, but even they look better than the carpet that was there. For the first time in years I can get to the bookcase easily.

There's still carpet on about 2/3 of the floor, but I can't realistically do any more room tetris until I ebay/NiceBoots all the crap that's been piling up in here for me to sell.

I did three times as much stuff as I thought I could accomplish in one day, and I'm not as exhausted as I should be. It's entirely possible I'll spend tomorrow or the next day in bed reading and taking painkillers by the ton. That will not be the end of the world.

Well, I hope you're okay today. At least you can spend a day in bed without feeling guilty about it.

We sorted the patio out on Sunday, and we're thinking of rearranging our bedroom this weekend. It's a great way to get round to doing the spring cleaning, and it always feels like a positive achievement.

I'm a bit stiff but mostly OK. I hope my veg box comes soon so I can go take a walk so I don't seize up.

Cool! Do you know whay you're getting in your vegbox?

I can send you some surplus seeds once I dig out your address. (I'm sure I have it somewhere.) There'll definitely be aubergine, chilli, pepper and tomato, all good for starting off in the house and planting out in pots in the garden come April. I started mine off at the weekend. Would you like any others? Pea, broad and French bean are things we'll have definite extras of.
