Even more Monsters

It's been Sunny and Hot and apart from a couple of hours in the garden doing some crochet. I've mainly spent the day beginning the task of going through all of my books and only keeping the ones that are essential in an attempt to de-clutter.

The Japanese organising expert says you hold each item and if it brings you Joy keep it, if it doesn't it has to go. She also says you should clear not room by room but by a theme, such as books or clothes and put them all from every nook and cranny in the house into one big pile. The only problem I had with this was carting the books up and down the stairs to put them in one big pile on the living room floor, they're heavy, so IVE compromised and will clear a whole shelf at a time, do the Joy and no Joy thing and see what I whittle it all down too.
