What I Threw Out Today

I began September 21 2010 - To record of some ephemera I had collected before disposing of them

An odd little collection

Am determined to post something every day I am at home - so this is a little collection I grabbed, mostly items I should be able to 'dump' without too much emotional distress.

Catalogue images show the electric drill I bought myself with a gift sent to me by my friend in Germany. Hope to be using the drill shortly to re-assemble the decking after the external insulation of the house. The house now looks like this, by the way (click to enlarge).

White ballpoint pen from Revenue commissioners - probably acquired either at some exhibition, or even in the tax-office in Tallaght. A free gift sweetens the bitter pill?

Black ballpoint pen from Lissloughry Lodge - part of a gift pack at my nephew's wedding in Cong in 2009.

Plastic hanger - not sure, but think this is off one of the shirts I recently bought in Thomas Street for 2.99 Euros

Handwritten label - think this may be the name of the tree I hoped would be planted in my honour in Tymon Park on the occasion of my retirement, April 23 2002. In the event, the plant they gave me was a hornbeam, perhaps because it includes the word 'betulus'. Incidentally, it doesn't look a bit like the image in the wiki article. See here for a different variety which is more like 'my' tree - must go and take another picture of it.

Yellow pull-tab - this came off the latest ink refill I put in my printer - isn't modern technology marvellous - I'm remembering typing mistakes and re-types, and carbon copies ....

I'm going to be away for a few days, and may not get to post - but then I just might ...
