What I Threw Out Today

Getting going again

Tá áthas orm [I'm Happy/glad] mar [because] tá me ag obair [I am working] ar an dara lá [on the second day]
ZIP LABEL
This is the label for a green zip - 'bottle green'. I'm trying to remember what I used it for. Was it the skirt in MacLean tartan?
COMB LABEL
I bought this comb, actually two combs, unplanned when I saw them near the door of a chemist shop I was in for something totally different. It is quite difficult to find combs like this on sale. They used to be available in a small plastic case - a pocket comb. However I haven't seen such a one on sale for ages now.
DAFFODIL AND LABEL
Every year they sell these daffodils to support cancer charities. I wish they would just ask for a donation. the cost of the daffodil has to be subtracted from the money given to the patients.
SUITCASE LABEL AND KEYS
This is the label and keys off the suitcase I bought for myself when I couldn't find a nice small one like the one Clodagh got me for my birthday. I have the case ready for the next time I need one. I probably should keep the keys also.
TIMER LABEL
Tony got me this timer when I left my usual one in Clodagh's house. Now I have two. But this new one is very handy as it is possible to use it to 'count up' like a stop watch, as well as the usual 'count down'.
AMAZON SLIP
This came one day out of the blue. I had mentioned a book to Tony when I saw it on television, and he ordered it. It took a long time to be delivered. But it was well worth waiting for. A man, Johnny McKeagney, had drawn all the things people told him about in local history. You can see the program I saw on YouTube here. The book is large format, the drawings detailed and delightful.
