I sit on my ancestor's chairs, eat with his cutlery, read his diaries which include his book lists, and look up at the shelves and see those same books staring down at me... my wife is very, very long suffering! The shells and fossils are in a bit of a heap in the corner and she thinks it is time they got sorted out! The diaries are fun because they are so mundane.
