Decluttering
Jun. 2nd, 2024 04:26 pmA few small things left the house today:
* I returned a book I'd borrowed from our local Quaker meeting's "library" (i.e. a few books in the cupboard)
* I finally remembered to take the egg boxes I'd been saving to give to a friend who has hens and sells the eggs
* and I gave an A4 envelope full of buttons (new on cards) to the craft group that meet in the village hall where we hold our Quaker meeting. The buttons had come from my cousin's stash. My brother and I (plus our two other cousins) cleared her house after she died and I got her sewing and knitting stuff, but there is no way I was going to use all of it, so I've passed quite a bit on to others.
I need to have another decluttering and reorganising pass through my study, but the garden is going wild, so I should be working on that. This always happens at this time of year. I think the time has come to find a grass cutting service, but I'd like to get everything tidy first so I can point to it and say, "Please just keep it like that," rather than have to explain what to cut and how short it needs to be.
In other news, apparently it's International Dinosaur Day today. I wasn't aware of this before someone posted about it on Facebook, but it's hot today and, by chance, I had already decided to wear my dinosaur skirt which I made last year.
