After I dried out a little from this morning's downpour, the friendly and chatty Ms L pointed me to the box in her kitchen containing the bookshelf she needed building, with the words "It's easy, it only took Paul 5 minutes last time...", so no pressure then Ms L.

She wasn't wrong though, as this particular bookshelf needed no tools (watch out IKEA), and proved straightforward to construct through a series of shelves and screw together plastic poles, and some easy to follow instructions.

I didn't threaten Paul's world record time, but did have a very enjoyable chat with Ms L whilst on the building site, and felt pretty well informed about all the overnight news by the time I'd finished.
