My French is pretty terrible, but I am pretty sure this means these capers are not perilous.

Dryer drive belts are supposed to be continuous, without the kind of break you see here. I have to say I’m surprised the belt that makes the whole drum go around is only 1/4″ wide, but I guess that’s what keeps the repairmen in business. No such luck for them here, though: the new belt should arrive Thursday and I’ll install it myself.

We are considering some changes to our living room, to make it more library-like. Today I rearranged the existing furniture as an experiment. The idea is that we would replace the one bookcase you see on the left with an entire wall of built-in bookcases with an embedded writing desk, and replace the old dilapidated sofa with a new small sofa or large loveseat.
