Nothing happens without a deadline . . . and part of the pre-op preparations is getting the house in order for probable renting.
We purged two decades of over caffeinated op shopping 'bargains' on Saturday in a huge working bee at home where much hard work by great crew was punctuated with many good laughs.
Four piles: to go back in the shed in sealed containers, go back to the op shop, go to the 6m skip in the driveway and then - the bonfire out front.
The selection committee became more severe in their assessments as the afternoon wore on: "Oh, you might need that one day " turning to "burn it" without so much as a two second gap for think music.
. . . here's a 'bargain' wine rack in flames.
And here's a pic of cans around the fire back at Gus and Jodes' place with plenty of guffaws, cackles and lecturing one another other about how we should be living our lives and where we've been going wrong . . . standard Saturday night behaviour: a bit of very much needed normalisation.
You're setting us all an example Jim! Carry on... and thanks for sharing the words of wisdom day by day. I'm enjoying, learning, and thinking of you each day. - Robyn
ReplyDeleteMate... thanks so much for creating the perfect breeding ground for red backs under your house via the careful application of 300+ empty, plastic mung bean, alfalfa and sage punnets (... stinking bloody hippy!). Gus and I shared more moments in the dark under there than either of us would care to admit. I can still feel the little buggers crawling down my bum crack! An awesome day mate... shit reason to be cleaning up your crap but an awesome day all the same. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteSo many smiles, Trust your friends to enjoy burning your stuff!!
