Most of the bag is filled with old books. I have a schizophrenic relationship with books these days because as fast as the old ones are given away new ones are being ordered; second hand all, so bankruptcy isn't too much of a threat. In my defence, reading still has to be the primary occupation. I've just ordered a copy of Katherine Mansfield's Letters and Journal - my previous one fell apart a few years ago I re-read it so much. Also I'm currently addicted to Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder detective novels. Very dark but riveting, particularly if you know New York. At some point I'm going to have to get a Kindle.

A couple more butterfly photos. The underside of the Small Tortoiseshell's wings is less showy than the upper surface but equally beautiful.

More lovely butterfly pics. I too seem to recycle books more frequently than I did. I think it's because I'm running out of bookshelf space really.
Hi Jenny. Bookshelf space is definitely part of it but the bigger picture is that I'm hoping to move (downsize) in the next year or so ... I'm starting early in other words.
I hope people came for your charity bags. I am weary of filling them, leaving them out and then having to take them in again when nobody collects - especially when they are full of books!
RR: The charity bag collectors in these parts do seem to do their job so this hasn't been a problem up till now. (Touches wood - I've got a very full Age UK bag due to be collected tomorrow).
