Eight + Two

As I mentioned last posting, I'm choosing these items 'blind', that is I reach into one of the two boxes nearest to me, and take out about five items.
Well, this time, the 'items' turned out to have multiple elements, so I've ended up with eight, instead of five.
And then there's the final two items (see below)

This is a sand picture from New Mexico I believe it was Albuquerque that the TA friends who stayed with us came from. Terrible that I cannot remember their names. Hopefully in Heaven, I will get a new memory transplant and be able to apologize to all the people whose names have slipped from my mind. I didn't throw this out, but I'm not yet sure what I'm going to do with it!

This picture of Our Lady is from my friend Hildegard in Germany. It is cut from a magazine.
No, I haven't thrown it out either. I just love the image, even though I don't look at it very often.

 At last something I can throw out - a used pen. This Stabilo brand of pen was a favourite of mine at college. Not sure if they can still be purchased.
It's gone into the WITOT box.

 I bought these white cotton gloves online. They were good value, and very comfortable to wear. I use them mostly inside both rubber gloves and gardening gloves as extra protection for my hands.

Not sure which of my son's took these photos - if one of them contacts me, then I will know that they occasionally look at this blog!
I didn't throw them out - maybe they will be glad to have them back some day.

 These two items are by son Michael. The tiger collage was part of his pre-college portfolio.
The print is an early college piece.
I certainly didn't throw these out!

 And these are pieces of that mop, the 'dolphin' of which was in an earlier posting this month.
Straight into WITOT box.

These final two items are from the exhibition I visited yesterday in Rua Red at the Square Tallaght. I'm not throwing out the catalogues. The exhibitions were excellent. Unfold was from some state collections incl OPW and Fortified Coastline was excellent photographs taken around the Irish coast by Victoria J Dean.
I'm really pleased that by filing these the day after I aquired them, I have circumvented my usual habit of creating UFB (unfinished business) for myself!

This final image shows the WITOT box bursting at the seams, ready to be emptied, mostly into the green bin, though some of the items will have to go into the black bin as regular rubbish (non re-cycleable)
