Does the shop have a pink Barbie style drill/screwdriver too?

Btw, I do like it when it fits a woman's hand. Some tools are impossible to use for females with small hands

Books! I see unpacked books. Yay!

Books make me sooo happy!​

Books make me sooo happy!​

I know. Me too.

Though truth be told, I have had to give away a bunch recently just to make room ...... for more books of course!

The handyman is here. He reckons it will take him just an hour to put my coop together! It took me the best part of 2 days to get to where it is!
Now Shad, I don't want you to think that I have completely ignored your very good advice; my chickens ended up as complete pets partly though circumstances but the plan was always to close the flock if I lived somewhere that allowed a rooster. You & @BY Bob have always stressed the difference a rooster makes to flock dynamics so I am expecting that change.
I have been offered a frizzled bantam who is an experienced free ranging rooster & he should be ready to take up his duties before 1/2 my girls decide to sit on empty air. Roosters are a dime a dozen round here so if he doesnt work out there will be no problem sending him on his way & getting a replacement but he seems good with the girls he presently has.​

I only keep the books I reread until they're in tatters ~ hence the deplorable state of many of my books. I am presently looking for a reasonably priced hardback copy of Pamela Dean's Tam Lin as my paperback, which I'm presently rereading, is falling apart in my hands.

Hmmm. That is an interesting framework. I will have to give that some thought. I certainly keep those. But I also keep the following categories:
1- Books I might re-read one day (many, many)
2- Books I might refer to one day (many, many)
3- Books that remind me of certain times or events in my life even if I don't need to re-read them (slightly fewer)
4- Books that have come to me via dead relatives who have written in the fly leaf. I have a lot of volumes of poetry and a complete works of Shakespeare with inscriptions from relatives going back to 1870s or so (not many of these, but they feel precious)
5- Books written by relatives (some)
6- Books I intend to read (many, many and worse since my retirement party had a 'bring a book' theme, so there is literally a crate of them!)
7- Books that are duplicates of category 1, but I still can't bear to part with the original

I think it is obvious that I have a problem!

I hope he works out for you Ribh.
