Anyway, here I am doing it tonight - and a lot of the snow is melted, and I went out for the first time in two weeks, to All Hallows for a 'Come Aside and Rest' day.
I did more sorting on my work-room yesterday, and found these items, dating back even to 1988.
2 X RECEIPTS
These are dated a week apart, one from Easons, one possibly for a small local shop that didn't have the luxury of printing their name on their receipt. (Just dawns on me now that in order for the receipt to be legal, I think it has to have the name of the shop on it - I never thought of that before. I wonder what I was using the pens for. I was attending Saor Ollscoil that year, but this was during the summer - the summer that I 'did Europe' in company with my youngest daughter.
LIST
This is in my aunt's handwriting, and concerns people she knew in Canada. I have an idea she may have given me these addresses to send them Christmas cards, though I have no recollection of ever doing so.
NOTE
This is from 2010, a task reminder to send someone an email
ENVELOPE 1
This envelope would have come from a Christmas card from one of our neighbours, and would have been dropped in the door rather than posted.
ENVELOPE 2
The postmark on this shows INDIANA Dec 20 1994, so is also from Christmas greetings. I really have no idea who the person is who sent it to us.
RECEIPT 3
The very faint writing at the top of this receipt shows that it came from the Government publications office. I am fairly sure I would have bought a copy of the constitution as part of my studies in Saor Ollscoil - this time the date is March, which would have been term-time.
PS: I still haven't organized the C-BOX. If I keep writing myself notes like this, I can't say that it 'slipped my mind'.
