Heavy Reading

I decided yesterday that since my new career direction doesn't have a lot to do with computing, I'd clear the computing books off my bookshelf. Must admit there's only a handful I'd used regularly, but even so, it was quite an emotional experience, leaving something that had been such a large part of my life for so long behind. I'm sure I'll still dabble!

Anyway - then this morning, I realised that 20 pounds weight disappeared. Now that sounds pretty good just as a number, but I thought I'd like to see how much it was. I didn't have any weights handy, so I thought I'd use the books that were kicking around on the floor after yesterday's tidyings! Anyway - that's the pile - for those who are interested, it's the same height as a two litre bottle of lemonade!

I'm now half way towards my original target, although I do intend to keep that target a bit fluid - if I feel I still have some to lose (i.e. "spare") then I'll keep going, or stop short if that seems right too. Right now I still feel there's enough spare to reach the target or possibly go beyond.
