So this was a tricky day. As I was waking up and thinking randomly, as you do, and lazily planning what to do for the day, I suddenly realised that what I might need to do to try and combat the damp in the bedroom was rearrange bookcases... because as I stared at the corner, I realised that I could fit another bookcase along the inside wall, and I probably only hadn't because I'd been trying to maximise the number of shelves by being able to put stuff on top too. And it would mean I could move the bookcase out of the nasty problematic corner too... Which would, in fact, make me quite happy. *g*

So I went from this to this... added bonus that I can access my Pros/fandom shelves and my books more easily. Why didn't I think of that before?!

I guess it makes the room feel a little smaller, but I don't spend alot of time in there... and I do like looking at bookcases full of books. And fic. *g*

Less happily, it turned out there was another nasty damp patch on the back of the wall, and a gentle fluff of green on the back of the bookcase, so I had to clean that. Then, being me, I had to move the books from the other bookcase to the new one at the end of my bed, because then they'd run around the room starting from A, rather than in an alphabetical muddle (shush...), and since I was taking the books off it anyway, I thought I'd better move the other-corner bookcase and check and clean behind it - and although the wall looks fine, there was white mold on the bottom of the bookcase - waaah! So I had to deal with that too, and then it needed to dry overnight, so ack for mess of a room to go to bed in!

Luckily there were other happy things to think of - reading fic in the garden, and then discovering these odd tall purple flowers, growing randomly wildly beside my sitting-out garden! *g*

And the deep blue of these flowers always makes me happy. *g*

Yeah, the gardens do need water. They say that we'll have rain on Tuesday and I hope they are true this time. Today I was very busy watering the garden and you could see the plants are very thirsty.

Oh, and I have some columbines for you. They are not so deep purple as yours, but I hope you like them.

The first has a white petticoat

The second is the white-and-pink one

And our darkest purple which is much lighter than yours.

These are pretty - the pale ones with the petticoats look very fancy, too! Your purple one is a lovely blue-purple, whereas mine is more deep red-purple I think. They'e all gorgeous though, thanks for showing them to me! *g*
