Seven things week 9

Nine weeks in, plus a few weeks earlier in the year, and the changes are starting to be seen, but in unexpected places.

The laundry is an unexpected place to see less clutter, as is the bathroom. But unlike the bathroom there's been no time or thought spent deliberately culling the laundry.

Maybe it's that there are fewer clothes lying around, fewer shoes to be polished - less maintenance of unnecessary things. It's curious.


Again, not so much with the photos this week. Sometimes it's a matter of getting it gone quickly rather than pausing for a close-up.

• 2 Grolsch beer bottles GIFT for Dad. This seems fair as he is one of the reasons I have clutter and not stored collections. Did I tell you there is a shed in my backyard that I'm not allowed into? If I dare put something in it he places the trespassing article on my back step in a most accusing fashion. If I had (access to) a shed, storage would not be such an issue. That the inherited magpie tendencies. Admittedly, not just his genes but he chose to mate with another magpie.
