Yesterday was a long, long day. After a full day in work, I met Dad on the way home, we piocked up ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inannajones from Hollybank, and we went to Mount Argus to do some more moving. We packed, stacked and moved vast quantities of stuff. I think there was about 4 cubic metres of stuff - that's over a hundred cubic feet for the Americans in the audience - and a fair proportion of it was books. We finished up at about 23:45. There are still some stiff points in my back and shoulders, but I'm feeling better than I expected.
I also got a desk - an old table/desk that Dad had in the van as a saw table. It's very battered, and quite covered in sawdust inside, so I'll be spending a bit of this evening cleaning it up. I'm debating on what to do with it to make it look decent - I could repaint it (it was black, originally) and possibly do some stencilling or something, or I could strip all the paint off it and varnish it (except I suspect that the top is chipboard, not real wood), or I could put a cover on it. I'm thinking a leather-topped desk would be nice - how much does leather or something artificial and convincing cost? Two square metres would be enough, I think, and then some nice brass tacks to pin it underneath.
Today is another gorgeous day - it was -2°C at Dublin Airport at 08:30, so it's clear and sunny out there. I'm going to try to ignore it and get some work done, so that I can swipe some time at lunch to write a piece for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
davonian on the White Order. If any of you out there want information on particular aspects of Davon, this would be a good time to ask.
