Crap & keep

Not a lot happened today. It was mostly housework.

I did manage to throw out Mirinda’s Weird Box of Receipts. This box contained lots of little, fading bits of paper Mirinda was certain she’d need. I sealed the box and dated it back in 2006. The seal had remained unbroken. Before that it had travelled with us from house to house unopened and undisturbed.

I figured if it hasn’t been opened in a decade, it would probably stay that way for the rest of our lives and, therefore, be no good whatsoever to man, beast or social historian. For one thing, given the Fade Rate, the paper will all be blank before too long and only good for old school analog shopping lists.

I sorted the rest of the stuff between crap and keep then we headed for the park. (And, for the record, I’ve put everything back because we don’t have an install date yet and I don’t want to live surrounded by it all for an unspecified number of weeks.)

Surprisingly, we didn’t see any dogs today which is very unusual. And the park was so beautiful and green. Mind you I reckon the hay fever brigade would have been suffering.

Mirinda came home and we had lovely omelettes for dinner with the big doors wide open. It won’t be long before we’re eating outside.
