Books & Paper
If there is one thing I never have to look for in my house it is books. Even though I got rid of quite a few books and packed others away in boxes I still have plenty in the house. I do have a Kindle now which is handy for travel and reading in bed but I like real books. Here are just a few from my bookshelves that reflect some of my interests. Can you guess which of those three old books, all favourites, I have reread the most often?
Another thing that I have a lot of at the moment. I mean really a lot, is magazines. A friend who knows how much Naomi and I enjoy old stuff has brought over boxes and boxes of old magazines which will eventually go to the Op Shop but at the moment we are busy sorting them, reading them and putting by a few to keep.
I started to think of how many other things around the house are made of paper. Here are some paper objects from my recent birthday.
We use paper for writing, wrapping and for hobbies. I do a bit of scrapbooking.
I like this old box even though it is a bit tatty.
So much paper! And where does a lot of it end up?
Well there is recycling, craft projects, packaging, in the garden, shred for animal bedding (some places use shredded paper) I know it’s hard to use it all up. I think Tip Shops and Bargain Centres get more than they can use as far as mags and books go. It’s a shame really.

It is a shame. I hate throwing magazines and books out but you are right places like op shops get too many to use and sometimes you have to cull the tatty ones to make room for new ones.
