Hello Neighbours!
I thought you might like an update on work going on here at the LoL. It’s stressful. Not the construction – that’s coming along a pace. No, it the stuff that goes inside; there’s quite a lot of it and squirrelled away in all kinds of places. Most of it lovingly protected in a thick layer of … um… what’s the word …?
*Thank you Clicky.*
*That’s quite alright. We couldn’t have you running around bare legged now, could we?*
Scruffy, the chap in charge of the logistics on site, has been quite helpful in this regard. He suggested I consolidate all our fantabulous materials. Genius! It seems to be working so well for the build, I thought I’d give it a try. The only problem being was the lack of a shed …
*Yes, Click. Spectacular*
Eventually some space was found and the consolidating could begin …
*Alright! Just show the photos please, and do stop smirking, I’ll narrate.*
Really, it very green … recycled racking …
… even the walls were utilised … plenty of space …
… we were even able to start putting recollections together …
… ready to be installed when the Library is ready. Drip-fed of course, because there is just so darn much of it … lots of hidden treasures. Which reminds me. You may have spotted the smoking notice I’ve put up. I was reminded to do so after rediscovering this neglected item…
Really, Scruffy has been most accommodating with his ideas. He even lent me a copy of his handbook … extraordinarily useful … I’ll must dip into it again …
*Thank you, Click! Now would you like some bacon?*

Has Click been moonlighting at your place? He’s supposed to be doing that at my place.
But then there is little moonlight through the permanent cloud cover.

You came! 😀
*Goodness, he is a Gloomy Dumey …*
*Oh. Perhaps we’d better have a Song … No, wait, I’ll give you a signal*
Clicky’s help is much appreciated around here, Doctor. Let me show you what he’s been up to … This way *cough*
I’m sorry about all the dust … *COUGH*
*rolls eyes*

I thought there was a blue sky over Dume Swamp once, but it was just an infection in the clouds.
It turned out quite useful while it lasted because it glowed in the dark.

The librarian could perhaps consider the maxim that Quentin Crisp might have said about housework in the stockroom:
“After a while the dust doesn’t appear any deeper.”

Confound it, JP, you’re right, of course, but sometimes true meaning can be lost in translation … When you’re in a bind, sometimes it helps to …
I know … *Clicky, if you wouldn’t mind* … Just Joe, have a Song …

*Yes, I saw that one, too, my little Clickstar, in a big box. I think I got it on a day trip to the Churchill War Rooms …*

Quentin Crisp actually said that dust stops settling after four years. And he wasn’t wrong about that. But since I never dust I don’t really know.

A touching scene. Can’t help wondering if one so young would actually know of the horrors awaiting.
