I've just been reading another blog written by somebody that lives on a croft in Scotland.

The entry for Monday 10 July is one which impresses me greatly. I love it when you can take something which is no longer serviceable and turn it into something else that is useful. This is a lovely example.

We've got a busy week and a busy weekend ahead too. And 9 more days left at school. I need to leave my desk tidy (well, tidyish) for the end of term. Today I took one pile of papers and found that so many were out of date that they could almost all go into the recycling box. Well, that is one way of clearing up! I doubt the rest will be as easy but at least there is one clear corner to encourage me and spur me on.

This is an edit - just to see if it works.
