A space to fill
I went through my book stock last night, consolidating gaps where books have been sold, and winding up with a spare metre of empty shelf space.
Woo-hoo!
Now I can get some more books off their temporary homes on the floor. I'm busy entering them into my database and uploading them to Amazon etc. I've given up scanning in the covers for any but the most expensive books, so I can work a little quicker than previously.
There's also a lot of space in my main storage in the shed, where many crates are only half full. This takes a bit more work to consolidate, as I've got to print out a list of the books and arrange them so that they are in order within their crates, with a sticker on the side showing first and last numbers.
I've been putting that off, because it's boring, fiddly work.
Listening with dismay to the news from New Orleans and nearby areas. I guess the big difference between Katrina and the tsunami last year is that the death toll is so much smaller this time. The decision to evacuate New Orleans before the hurricano struck must have been difficult, but in hindsight was absolutely correct. If more people had stayed, more would have died during the storm, and the situation now would be far far worse than it is now.
Even so, it sounds horrendous.

Yes, it's horrendous. New Orleans is gone. I am unaware of the whereabouts of two friends and their children. All these places I wanted to visit, and will probably never be able to...and that's the very, very least of it.

How much do you pay?
