Out of storage... by happypat

Out of storage...

When our house sale fell through I had already packed eight boxes of books away ready for storage.
I hated my books cases all being empty & not a good look for viewers so I I packed some & shared them out into different places.

Forgot to take a picture today & as I always love looking at peoples book cases I thought why not?

Three good things:
1. I’ve been to see a friend this afternoon....she ordered some washable masks another friend is making. Was lovely to see her!
2. My first trip on a motorway since February...the furthest away from home too! It felt like a real adventure!
3. A finger of KitKat.
Nice selection of books

Nice to see your books back on the shelf.. Sounds like a big expedition to visit your friend.. Still seems a bit weird to venture too far..

Lovely to see other peoples books , unfortunately can not read much at the moment. Love the looks of your oak book case - nothing like having a bit of "proper " wood in the house !!So good to venture out for your Ist trip on the motorway and enjoyed your day . My little car and I have only been a 2 mile round trip shopping , since the beginning of all this - but shall have a 24 mile round trip to Shrewsbury and back tomorrow in an ambulance car ! It will be nice to see a bit of scenery on the way !!

I agree that your bookshelves need some books. I always look at bookshelves too!

@beryl Yes it was a sobering thought to drive into the motorway first time...I always think motorway driving has to be kept up with or you can lose your nerve so easily but I soon got back in the swing! I drive about forty miles I think. Glad you aren’t having to drive tomorrow & have a lift. Hope you have a good night before a busy day.

@julzmaioro Yes it was quite an adventure! I enjoyed it though passed quite a bit of new fresh housing going up!

@carolmw @louannwarren Yes the bookcases looked odd empty! !

I’m glad you made this homey again. I always think books are the heart of my home.

Not many people have book cases today, I suspect there isn't a lot of room in the new rabbit hutch's they build.

That looks like a lovely bookshelf - sorry to hear the sale fell through, hope you find a good buyer soon!

@gamelee Ha ha your are probably right there! It’s the one thing I have enjoyed during this lock down looking at all the book cases behind the presenters, there have been some amazing ones!

@pandorasecho Me too Dixie!

Some familiar authors there! Books can be part of the room's ambience - gives a feeling of comfort and solidarity!

It must be lovely to have your books out again. I would be lost without my books.
You had quite an adventure visiting your friend. We had our first adventure last week when we went to Raymond Terrace and Clarence Town. About 140 km round trip. Luckily our roads are quiet and it was quite a rural trip.

Thanks for sharing.

@phil_howcroft Thanks Phil, I love all types of books...I will read a soppy romance one day then move into something more serious next ...the change is good! Reading is my great pleasure in life! I’m ready for the libraries to open big time!

Beautiful shot. I know your feeling when you went out for a long drive after Covid19. I was scared of everything the first time but now it's much but not completely better.
