Like the four-colour problem on a torus?

I stumbled.
Of the piles of books on the floor, I came across two that I lost myself in, rather stupidly, and now am rather behindhand in the Spring clean. For me this, like most things, is a leisurely activity; I rarely exert myself overmuch. Proper laziness is doing exactly as little as is required, which leaves more time for the thinking [read: solipsism, or self-regarding stupidity of a certain kind - ed] or reading.
Most of the books are on shelves, which is nice. The TLS's are all in boxes. Some of the clutter of my life has been removed enough to hoover. Slowly my habitat evolves into a civilised state. Finding the proper place for everything becomes more time consuming when trying to put a quart into a pint pot. Shifting books requires a Rubik's-cube-like set of manouevres, with the shifting of other books and other things.
I've kept the navel-gazing to a minimum because no matter how closely I've watched, I've yet to see a holy lotus spring forth therefrom.
Rather looking forward to Milady's return; but I would say that wouldn't I?
