Redressing The Balance

[poliphilo]

 We're in a phase where we're taking more things to the Recycling Centre shop for resale than we're buying there. This redresses the balance somewhat. I sometimes think it would be good to have a "one in, one out" policy- never buying anything without getting rid of something of the same kind, but we've never even tried to enforce it on ourselves.

All we bought at the shop today was a mug. Only we didn't buy it: the woman who is second-in-command at the shop is getting to be a mate and let us have it for free. "Have a cup of tea on me," she said.
