Saturday 27 June:


A somewhat bizarre day… no walking (I’ve resolved to avoid ‘weekend walking’ – apart from our regular, brief Sunday walk before church). In fact, although it’s still pretty hot and muggy, it rained quite hard during the morning – although Moira did manage to get out for a walk between the rain.
I spent virtually all day continuing to try to sort out our books. We’ve now finalised our ‘de-selected’ books (which are now stored in 25 veg boxes, ready for collection by a local charity, hopefully, next week – that represents perhaps 600-700 books in total?)(maybe a quarter of our total books?). These have also been sorted into separate boxes depending on whether they’ve been written in or not. All that needs to happen now is: a) contact Emmaus and get them to agree to collect the ‘unmarked’ books, b) contact another charity that hopefully will accept ‘marked’ books, and c) begin the process of relocating the various books currently located on landings etc on to bookshelves (and updating the database accordingly!). It’s a very long old process.
Villa managed to lose again (at home to Wolves 0-1) and looked doomed to be relegated.
We watched the second episode of David Olusoga’s ‘British and Black’ documentary – extremely good and quite humbling/moving.
