I really do not know where to begin. I could start with the books. These are the books in the living room.. However, we also have books in the cellar, and I also have another room in the apartment full of books.
I tend to read on my Kindle as it has its own light. However, I have now bought new bedside lamps for my new bedroom and they are are chargeable so I can also use them for reading in the living room.
The books have collected over 55 years of marriage with Mr. Swiss, but he is now in a senior home. And yes, we have read most of the books. Since Mr. Swiss is no longer here, I have begun to organise all our stocks of books. And there was also the electronic goods left from a lifetime of computers, not to mention the computers I found in the cellar which are no longer in use. Most of the electronics have now been removed, and I must say over the past year I have made progress with removing stocks of everything no longer needed.
I also have a cupboard full of DVD films, as well as DVD recordings of jazz music, all of which I no longer need or want, but who knows. The films and music are just too good to throw away, but at least I have now organised it all.
Someone once said that you should live as if your are going to move house once a month, and that is very good advice, only you should do it.

Literacy is a joy, and an issue when the collections get huge. But I’ve found that if you “weed” the collections you better be careful, because two weeks later you’ll want one of the books that you got rid of.

That is the problem and why I have so many books. Also that I read English and German.
