We're up to about a hundred books in the collection. A lot of them are in fairly poor condition, but still readable. We did have to lose some of the books as they were stained and falling apart... but many others are definitely worth the trouble.

So, it's an honor system. Borrow a book, take good care of it, and then return it when you're finished.

I should be finishing up repairing my cottage today. I sacrificed the bedroom to get the roofing tiles and floorboards to repair the roof and flooring of the kitchen and living room, and I have a real, working door and shutters now. The fireplace works, too. The gas oven, not so much. I could convert it to use wood (or peat), but I don't see the point since I have the fireplace. It's probably more useful as a source of steel.

I want to thank Steve for helping me with the roof yesterday. And I want to thank Davina for soundproofing the place.

Is anyone up for a group effort at cutting peat and laying it out to dry? Without wood, that's our best source of fuel for cooking or heating.
