Happy moving Sharon, and may your new place be full of magic and happiness! :D
It will certainly be quieter. Our 17 year old daughter is moving up to Inverell in a few weeks.

My entry room (2 book cases, a hall table, a treadmill) is my immediate TBR area. I decided to do a bit of reorganising.....books all over the floor in piles....hubby suggested some petrol and a match.....then later on, when most of the books were back into bookcases or at least looking fairly orderly, he suggested get rid of the hall table and install a proper bookcase. I have a crick in my neck from the 180degree change. But I said no, that would only encourage me. I now have a bit better idea of what's there and have put some books on the top of the TBR pile, at least until some ARCs come in and derail the whole plan!

And me! I love new bookcases. I only have nine of them around the house and really need more!

LOL "only nine". The top floor of our house is actually a library with bookcases around three walls, but only to chest height as the roof angles after that...

A couple of years ago I was terribly brave I sold all the books that I had read, because I don't re read. I made approx $800.00 and donated it to a charity that is very close to my heart. I felt good and was very pleased that things looked tidy.
I only have three :( more like 2.5 because one of them is small.

My ebooks are deleted. Very few are kept except my classic children's collection. And most of them weren't classic when I got them - they are my childhood favourites. But that is only a shelf and a half.
Begin the move today and its raining and its pouring and I wish I was snoring.Am tuning off my computer for a few days. Everyone take care.

Good luck with moving, Sharon. Hope all goes well :)
Good luck with the move Sharon. Hope the rain stops to make it a bit easier for you :)
All the best Sharon!! A nice fresh start at the beginning of Spring sounds like a good omen :)

But there are certain exceptions. I mostly donate them to somewhere like Lifeline to sell on and raise money.

All the best Sharon!
Computer was the last thing I unhooked and the first thing I set up when I moved.
Liam wrote: "Computer was the last thing I unhooked and the first thing I set up when I moved."That's where iPad comes into it's own...no strings attached and it's always ready as long as you have WiFi connection ;) mine is always nearby. I still wouldn't be without my PC though.
Mod
Haha! That sounds familiar Liam;)

but the entry room is all TBR!!
Got a neat art exhibition in the library at Aldinga at the moment, all photography of Japan. Really nice stuff.
Happy last day of the working week, EB's:)
Yay! Have an hour and a half in the pool at work today, so I'm hoping the temperature is OK. Have woken up to a foggy morning here.

It is heated, fortunately, but the temperature can vary somewhat. Makes it hard for my painful people if it's too cool.

we went to a hot spa in New Zealand recently - there was snow around us but the pools were so warm that you did not feel in the slightest bit cold.Until you got out!!! It was a mad dash to get to the change huts to get dried and clothed!!!

How absolutely adorable! Thanks Liam:)
That Slow Loris clip is very cute, Liam!! I watched Slow Loris having her hair(?), fur(?) brushed and that was cute too! While we're on youtube, did anyone see this French bulldog on the Today Show last week? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmi3uUG...I was at the gym when I saw it, and laughed til the tears ran down my face - goodness only knows what other people in the gym thought!!

Yes Veronica. Our own pool and paid extra for the luxury pack and got a small bottle of bubbly and plastic wine glasses, small tubs of ice cream and a big bottle of cold water. We got an hour.
Mod

Wow that's luxury Sally! Well worth it:)
Mod
Very cute!
