Things That Are Happening

[poliphilo]

We're having a very wet summer.

Carl is going to a car boot sale next weekend and says he'll sell stuff for us. I spent much of yesterday wandering round the house looking for dispensible things. Thus far Ailz and I have filled ten bags and a box. 

England are giving Australia a hard time in the second test. This is unexpected. I keep track of things on the Guardian website- which updates every minute.

It's very easy to fill outgoing boxes... Despite having thought we'd got rid enough before we moved 2 yrs ago, and then filling more once we'd got stuff out of storage, and then more - and more - it seems never ending. Where does it all come from?

It's extraordinary how stuff piles up. I'd love to live an uncluttered life, but I don't seem able to.

I am ever so slowly winning against the clutter, but at times it feels like the stalemate of the WWI trenches: I gain a few feet only to lose it again as the enemy makes another push.

Re the wet weather, I really want to take George the toy monkey to the seaside. I had hoped for blue skies, but right now I'll settle for a prolongued dry period!

I keep wanting to pin washing out on the line, but it's been impossible.

I have you beat...I sent two pick up trucks and several carloads of stuff out of my house in the last two weeks. Most I gave to the Ellendale Lions club which is having a white elephant sale to donate proceeds to charity. Some I gave to immediate family members, and some I gave to shirt tail relatives for their kids.

The sad thing is I have so much more crap STILL in my house.

Sigh.

Indeed, where DOES it all come from????

You example will inspire me to dig deeper. :)
