As a keen customer of the Christian Aid Booksales, I was somewhat torn with the idea that our church should host a third in the city. Considering the decisions to be made each year regarding one's target venue between the two existing - at St Andrew's and St George's West, and at Morningside United - it would become so much more difficult to prioritise to obtain the best bargains.

However, it has been agreed and deserves our support, so we spent some time helping to sort books donated over the past two days into categories before they are priced and set up for sale*. The boxes were then stored here on the gallery, until the next weekend of receiving and sorting in April, which we might attend. Much to my chagrin, we will miss the first days of the sale and only creep in to sift through the leftovers and help clear up at the end.

*The dates of the sale at the Methodist Church, Nicolson Square, Edinburgh are from 13 - 19 May 2017.

Thank you for all the lovely comments following my 2190th blip, which, had Blipcentral not given a three-day warning, might have passed unnoticed.
