Have made an inventory of the books i somehow got to make room for. 20 Michael Gilbert, 15 Manning Coles, 5 Michael Innes, 10 Ellery Queen, 7 Philip MacDonald, ca 10 Helen MacInnes and ca 5 Alistair MacLean. Add to that some other books by various authors. Quite a book rearanging problem... Luckily i like those.

Other books by various authors -hmmmm :hmm: would a Stephen Edwin King be among those?
Hi Kurben! - It's Saturday and I have already had two days off! It's so nice to have a four day weekend for a change - how are things in Sweden?

I had my christmas dinner.. And since then i have been reading eating leftovers from the dinner and beemn very lazy. I love it. No snow this christmas although it has became about -5C so it is a bit chillier than earlier. Already have all of Kings. But there might be some SF and ordinary novels there too that must be saved. When my mother bought her books she could never imagine that her sight would get so poor so she couldn't read pockets. I have gotten her some books from the library with really big letters so she can read at last. Feel like i store up some energy for work on monday and tuesday.

I do that too when I order books from the library - I always request the Large Type books if they are available. Even then I still prefer to use my reading glasses for up close.

Christmas is over and now we can begin to wait for the New Year. Does anyone have any big New Years plan, I must work on New Year so I can't
stay up very long but I want with Juho and couple of our friends go and see the big new year firework that we have in the town.

We still have snow on the ground and cold. Forecast says -20C/-4F for tomorrow brrrr.... and funny but for the new year it should start to rain and 5C/41F Then all snow melt away, but the same to me we got the White Christmas and it was the most important thing.

Take care, be well and stay safe!!!!!!!

((((all in need or not))))

Sometimes it's just easier to get a bigger place. ;-D I feel your pain, Kurben, as I will be in your position in another couple of months. There's just too many darn books out there wanting to come into my home!!! I'm going to have to do some real good planning on where to put some more bookshelves now.....

It looks promising. Have managed Gilbert, Coles, Queen and MacDonald. There is a little room left. Hoping that Innes and Macinnes plus Maclean will fit there. At least Innes and MacInnes.

Just got done squeezing some lemons. My mom has this very prolific lemon tree and she gave me a couple bags of lemons. These lemons are the size of oranges. She said that she had already squeezed and froze enough juice for 27 pies and had filled her freezer. She gave me the rest of them and I've been squeezing and freezing too. ;-D I ended up with 24 cups of lemon juice. I don't make pies so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it all. All of this from one tree. She has another tree too. ;-D Funny thing is when she planted the second tree the existing tree started producing 2 or 3 times the amount of lemons that it had before. I guess it was lonely.
