Pottering

I seem to be running out of things I can give away to charity. Does this mean that everything else has to be transported down to Kent? I suppose it does. What, even the packets of tea lights? Yes, even them. What's the alternative- throw them away? Unthinkable.

Wish the car was bigger.

Wish the car was a van.

We own so many books. I've winnowed the shelves but there still so many. Here's a big glossy guide to museums I didn't even know I had. I sit down to browse. This fellow (contemptuous snort) only gives the Corinium Museum two stars out of a possible five. That's ridiculous!  Ailz calls to ask me what I'm doing because it's tea time. Ah, yes, tea...

Is there room in Kent to store the other stuff? How long do you have to clean out the Oldham house?

It it were me, and I had storage space in the new place and a few pennies, I'd hire a couple large big lads with a truck to dump everything non-breakable in boxes and drive it down.

Then you can winnow a box a day. At your convenience. In Kent.

I was lying in bed last night, thinking it out and I came to much the same conclusion. Our friend Matthew has said he'll rope in one of his gang and hire a van if we decide to go down that route.

The stuff could go into storage in my mother's garage. The buyer is talking about having everything finalised by Christmas which is- what- ten weeks aaway?
