Remedial Action

I hadn't intended to spend time today cleaning CDs and the shelves they are on and attempting to prevent the shelves from becoming even more tottery than they are. But that's what I found myself doing in the middle of the day, partly on a whim, but, more importantly, because it really needed doing. We've been lucky over the years that the shelves for books and CDs we bought a long time back when we lived on Still Road have lasted reasonably well, but it's starting to look like their days are done and today's remedial action was somewhat overdue.

Noi and I agreed that a lot of this furniture will need to be discarded once we make the big move to Malaysia, but in the meantime we need to make do with what we have, which means making it work for a few months more. I'm not entirely sure that the most tottery of the CD cases will last that long, but it's worth trying for.

Not unlike going to the gym, I suppose; trying to eke out a few more years of bodily function at a passable level. Though, I must say, tonight's session made me feel as tottery as the shelves we were trying to bang into shape earlier in the day.
