Boxed up
As I’ll be moving out of Cairncross House, I have to pack all my belongings into a vault. However, this proves rather difficult…
My room is in a mess.
I am moving to a new flat in September, putting all my belongings into storage over the holidays. Thus I have collected a dozen cardboard boxes, which are now piling up in my tiny room. No space at all.
In order to free some space i needed to get a screw driver to deconstruct my shelf. Unfortunately they were already boxed. Thus I tried to lift the box on top of the one that contained the screw drivers. Unfortunately the bottom broke, releasing all its contents on top of the box with the screw drivers. I needed to fix the box with sticky tape first, as there was no other way to clear the box. I did have the sticky tape, but couldn’t find any scissors. They were probably buried under some boxes. In order to find them I would need to clear more space so that I could actually move boxes around. Which would require to deconstruct the shelf. For which I needed the screw drivers… Damn!
Fortunately I found a nail clipper which I could use to cut the sticky tape.
Day saved.

So that’s why you needed to know what nail clippers are called, lol. Seriously Chris, did you ever think of actually taking apart the book shelf before packing the screw drivers?
