Four Cases Solved by Sherlock Colonialist


A Shelved Project

Apart from a brief spell in the middle of the month I have been without internet and email for the entire time; reasons being too complex and numerous to list. The latest loss took place about a week ago when one of our local residents with grabbing habits swiped our cable – seen and diagnosed today by a an overburdened and frazzled technician.

Trying to catch up on everything over the past month will be a hopeless task, so I’ll just have to pick things up from here.

Anyway, the picture shows one of my projects to accommodate books written/published/edited by me, undertaken at the beginning of the month. If you think it was easy to assemble those shelves I have news for you. One plank the wrong way round and the whole thing had to be re-done.

    Those shelves look super! Impressed, Col! I still have to put up bookshelves in our little hidey-hole here in Cobh, and it’s a scary task. With four serial book-hoarders under one roof, I’m afraid to put in even one shelf lest all the walls end up turning into shelves like in every other place we were in 😀

    Sorry about the cable theft, so hard to understand people like this.

    What are they like, these local residents with grabbing habits? Hopefully, Col, they’ve grabbed enough now… or have been grabbed themselves – red-handed!

  8. It seems that we always manage to fill all storage space available. At least you have a bit to spare now. Good job, Col. 🙂
