Periodicals

With all major sports postponed or cancelled, chess matches off, running groups and Parkruns cancelled, and I shouldn't even go to the pub, there is little else to do except play with my chess books. To start with I have rearranged some of the periodicals and it is very satisfying to see them organised in colour coordinated rows:
