The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

New shelves

I have been working very hard over the last week, most of the time on the computer. This has been driving nuts and, what with the lovely weather at the moment, it seemed about time to do something outside, in fact anything other than staring at a bloody screen.

When we first moved into this flat back in November, I built a desk, bed, and furniture for my room. In the meantime of course I have ended up with a lot more stuff, to such a degree that I had no more space for books or indeed anything much else.

So this afternoon I built some more shelves. I have to say that I am quite pleased with the results. There’s even a wee shelf for a cup of tea right next to my bed!

And once again, it’s all recycled timber from the street. So total cost about €3.50 – for some screws.

New shelves

By the way, the little bird on the middle shelf is Greg, a small friend of mine. He is made of plastic, but has real feathers; he was €1 from a Chinese shop in the Albert Cuypmarkt. I am never lonely while he is around.
