Spent a couple of hours having a good clearout this evening. Been meaning to do this for bleedin’ ages. It’s amazing how much “junk” a person accumulates over the years, isn’t it? A lot of things I threw out were old stocking fillers from Christmases past, and no longer used parrot toys. I was intending to do a boot sale, but procrastination always gets the better of me. 😀
I’m gonna repaint the kitchen over the next few days too. We had a small cooker fire not long ago and I’ve been too lazy to redecorate. P also intends to repair the aviary during his holiday – those darn kakarikis like to chew the edges. Why is it that birds instinctively know what they’re not supposed to chew, and thus do so?
Oh, I’m also going to put in a complaint about my next-door neighbours tomorrow. Last night, they made more noise than ever. Running up and down the street, drunk and shouting in some foreign language, slamming their front door and smoking right outside our house. It sounded like there were quite a few people involved. I couldn’t settle until they all headed off down the street (presumably to the nightclubs) just before 11pm. Though they still made a racket when they got back about 3am. sigh
