Still books

I am grudging the time spent on putting the books back. Now that 30% of them are back, I have taken to putting books into categories on the floor. But there are always books that don't fit into categories.  Skunkworks? - the history of Lockheed. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Taking things to the extreme, I wonder if using the Dewey system would be a good idea. And I have a pile of unwanteds and duplicates - 2 copies of Five Towns by Arnold Bennett for example.

Yesterday I did more work on Kennet Valley courses. The Spreadsheet is up to date and sign-up sheets prepared for today. The Guild missed a meeting in January. Personally I was snowed in but the meeting was cancelled anyway. So there has not been a meeting since late November and I have added details of four new courses this week.  We have Isabella Whitworth doing a two day course on 'Working with Wax' - on silk scarves in June.  Jan Shailes is doing Fancy Spinning in September. I heard mention of feathers and beads. There is the annual day on acid dyeing and doing fancy dying on warps in October.  And one on Japanese-style book binding in November.  What with the residential weekend in May, that is 2010 fixed!
