Not much...

 A quiet morning, then walking down to get my flu jag after lunch. Good to get it before any trip. Plus there is a flu resurgence already.

Bro arrived just after I'd walked back up the hill..good timing!!

We spent the afternoon sorting and clearing a few things. Electronic liquorice!! Working out what leads go with anything he is taking away to see if they are any use..old laptops and a couple of televisions. 

Taking out a long redundant phone wire which went from the front of the room where the power points are...to the back where it had been fed through the wall!

 This involved unscrewing a pair of tall narrow shelves full of cassettes, CDs and maps .....screwing them back, the screws pulled through the hardboard! 

Four washers will sort the problem. A job fir tomorrow morning before I go to the gallery.

Meanwhile the contents are spread around the living room in boxes....

Things always get worse first!!

"Electronic liquorice" is the perfect name for that tangle of leads, and I hope the four washers save the shelves tomorrow morning. Good to have the flu jab done before your trip, too. Thank you for the update, and enjoy the gallery!

It sounds pretty bad now. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I tried to buy washers..either small enough holes but washers too small...or right size washer and hole too big!!

I have my flu jab next month - I pushed the date back so the coverage last a bit longer into the New Year.

Your wiring sounds a bit like something done here - where a hole has been drilled through the wall, a cable fed through and two plug sockets put into the back wall . . .

If you don’t find right-size washers, maybe stacking one of each would work?
