Books Away!
Well, the inestimable Eamon and Barry have been with their van and collected 34 boxes of books, including those shown below, files of notes, and sundry other items from my Cardiff residence.
It all went more smoothly than I’d anticipated, actually, because a parking space right outside my front door appeared about a minute before the van arrived. That saved quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing loading the boxes.
Another part of my relocation to Maynooth is thus under way.
I hope to be reunited with these belongings in Maynooth at some point next week as they are currently making their way to Ireland (via Birkenhead, apparently).

I’m intrigued those are three half width bookshelves, not one full width and one half width.
I hope the new residence has ceilings high enough to take the full height shelves plus the extension units: I’ve checked the ceiling height of my current flat and it is too low for an Ikea Billy bookcase with an extension unit.

Why intrigued? That’s what I bought!

Why not buy one full width and one half wide bookshelf?

It was cheaper to get three the same – special offer.

I see. That makes sense. As you can see, I’ve been looking at various bookshelf purchasing options recently.

Snap! Our Billy Bookcases arrived yesterday with 70% of our furniture via a Man and a Van (a Luton van), from Mayo, on the Holyhead to Dublin Port 3 am ferry. We had to travel at the same time, and so have missed a nights sleep. I brought one box of basic physics books. We will do the same again in another month for the remaining furniture plus loads of boxes of books and papers.
