I'm physically tired, but mentally up and going. This is downright unusual for a Monday morning - I think it's due to the moving of stuff yesterday.

We spent the afternoon emptying inannajones's desk, a dresser and about six bookshelves, and then the evening hauling stuff into Dad's car, moving it to Hollybank, and extracting it again, finishing up with a run to olethros' place to fetch his desk. We
were finally done by 23:00 or thereabouuts.

I sort of collapsed after that into a bath, which was just what I needed; I love having a bath again that I can lie down in. The backs of my knees are still complaining a bit from the effort of lifting, but at least it's the knees and not the back.

So now we have furniture. The desk needs reassembling, which will happen this evening. I could reassemble it as it was before, which will require the purchase of some Allen keys, or I can actually leave that part out and have a better desk. I'm not at all sure why that section was in it in the first place - the desk is vast and heavy, and doesn't need it for stability or anything.

Then there are shelves and the dresser to place, which will take up most of this evening, I think. We should be able to fit a couple of bookshelves in the hall, I think, one or two in the sitting room, one in the dining room... one in the bedroom.

There are still a few items of furniture to come - they'll travel on Wednesday or Thursday evening when Dad is up again, and then there're all the books to go in them.

Moving, yay.

Dave has allen keys, if you can bring a nut or bolt with you tomorrow he should be able to tell if there's a allen key he has to do it... his full set has unfortunately gone walk about.
