Spick and span

It was a bright day but every once in a while I just have to do some <whisper> housekeeping like dusting, so it was a stay at home day.
So, what to Blip? Well, I can show you some of my handiwork today, a spick and span part of the wall unit with some of my books.
I love books, bookshops are the only shops where I may splurge on buys.
And I don't think I 'll ever get used to e-readers, I need to feel and smell a book and be able to turn pages back and forth.

By the way, if you want to know more about the expression "spick and span", here's what Wiktionary says: From spick-and-span-new (literally “new as a recently made spike and chip of wood”) (1570s), from spick (“nail”) (variant of spike) + Middle English span-new (“very new”) (from circa 1300 until 1800s), from Old Norse span-nyr, from spann (“chip”) (cognate to Old English spón, Modern English spoon, due to old spoons being made of wood) + nyr (“new”) (cognate to Old English nīwe, Modern English new).[1] Imitation of Dutch spiksplinter nieuw (literally “spike-splinter new”)[2] , for a freshly built ship. Observe that fresh woodchips are firm and light (if from light wood), but decay and darken rapidly, hence the origin of the term.
