In an email to Joanna, aka writer of excellent Blog called La Vie en Rose, SHE said that SHE was culling books.. well, they have now ALL gone.. whoosh! Up the road they went in old wicker and were donated to a wonderful place which is for the over 60's..
Then SHE cast an eye upon the very deep and very long drawers in OUR bedroom.. what was lurking in them..
Oh lordy.. well, SHE and I both doubt that SHE will ever be a size 4 US or a size 8 UK again.. so all HER trousers / slacks / jeans / shorts / dresses treasured or otherwise have gone.
Tomorrow it is the turn of sweaters and tops, jackets. SHE has culled a most favourite coat.. sigh.. but if it doesn't fit.. it doesn't fit and now someone else can have it.
I must say that I think SHE was very 'brave'.. there were several items at which SHE looked at and 'sighed over'.. of course, I don't have this problem, I am in the same clothes all the time.. I admit sometimes MY 'reddies' aka tail look extra snappy
when new ones have just grown through.. but otherwise, what YOU see is what I wear.
But OUR life has changed so much in the past five years as SHE no longer leads the life that SHE lead for so many years.. HER life is much simpler now.
And tomorrow SHE is sorting through fabrics, SHE gave a HUGE amount away to a friend who makes curtains and is starting on lampshades, but there is another even bigger amount of beautiful remnants, these will go to the same place as the clothes as they have lessons on patchwork quilts and lavender bags.. they were just thrilled with the small bag that went there this morning.
Slowly cupboards and drawers are being sorted and tidied.. but in order to go through things.. unfortunately YOU have to be able to see them.. so the sitting room is a disaster zone.. WE have a friend coming at the end of the month for four days.. SHE has to finish this job, that is for sure.
ME, well, I get to watch all this from comfy doors,
SHE doesn't require MY help.. in sorting through 'stuff' which is surplus to requirements.
