The novelty of having this stuff around is wearing very thin. Christmas day Chloƫ had to ferry grandparents up and down in a landrover and she's been driving it ever since because it's the only means of transport guaranteed to cope with conditions. Boxing day I managed to lug the turkey, bread sauce, veggie stuffing and gravy up to g'dad's (he and his wife baulk at sheep-station cookery so it always seems to fall to me but I'm thinking of rebelling next year.)

Today the books are being moved into the garage by a chain gang of lads otherwise employed as foresters so - heaven help the finer vols. My back and asthma have been playing up something chronic, probably at the thought of shifting 5730 of the remaining stock... urgh.

The novelty is wearing thin hereabouts too. It is snowing as I write this and coming in sideways. The cat refused to go out and had to have an emergency litter tray.

Happy New Year. Hope life without a bookshop goes well.
Cheers Gillian
