Mucking Out

I've spent all day today mucking out the office in preparation for getting the new laptop up and running and being able to remove a hideous set of slatted Ikea shelves that currently house the tower case for my computer and the all-in-one printer.
And I do mean mucking out - which is by far the most satisfying type of cleaning. It's the first time I've actually been able to move my desk for about five years. (And when I did move it... oh boy!) I filled the Dyson with just the grot from the office carpet and made a huge spider homeless (not that he'll need a home as he's probably in spidery heaven right now).
I've filled three binbags with stuff I previously thought I needed to save and am currently contemplating moving furniture round to make it more friendly and give myself a better working light... trying to figure out a kind of Yorkshire feng shui. (It must be reading 'Demon in the City' that's got me at it.

Date: May. 26th, 2008 09:48 pm (UTC)Though isn't Elmet further East? We were married at Sherburn in Elmet - between Pontefract and Tadcaster.
How far did the ancient kingdom of Elmet stretch?
Tell me more about (local) ley lines, please.

Sherburn is aparently off to the east of the kingdom. North it's bounded by the river Wharfe, south by the river Aire. It seems to have stretched from about Leeds to Kirkby Wharfedale/Sherburn.
I must get up there and potter about some day, it really calls to me.
Local ley lines ... I'll do another post *g*. Do you have a feel for the things yourself?
