So now it is time to try and reduce the amount of stuff we're holding for Blind Uncle Len. OK, some of it's obvious, the sword, assegai and medals and engraved silver will always stay in the family, the bullets, archaeological specimens and wartime memorabilia are interesting. But Jof is already making noises about the dead cameras, boxes and boxes of slides and the collection of historic newspapers. Fortunately today Grandma went through the list of the biggest and most broken stuff and has given her blessing to a great sell-off and tip-trip and museum-donation and recycling frenzy. Every item will be scrutinized and assessed, and dispositioned according to the rules of war. I can't wait.
The last of the Scorpion Moruga chilis went into Bud's work on a free distribution today - and all were gone in half an hour.
We now have a carload for the tip and I think Mr Ebay will be busy shortly. The Imperial War Museum may also benefit.
At Beavers today I got First Aid Badge 1 of 5, for learning about casts and crutches. Apparently in Cubs you can get 10 and in actual Scouts, it's like 22 or something. Probably involving open heart surgery.
