Getting rid of things

I have made a start doing a bit of a cull of my stuff. I had been wanting to do that for quite a while already, but I never really got around to it. I suppose the fact that I'm actually making some progress at least partially because of Neil's inspiration

Some of what I get rid of is going into the bin. But some of it might be of use to other people. I already got rid of my hiking snow shovel. I haven't done a winter hike in many years! That's the only time you need it. That one I actually sold to a student who was about to have a winter adventure in the Alps.

The snow shovel

I also got rid of a kitchen appliance I wasn't actually using. And an item of which I didn't even know what it was. I should've got rid of it years ago! I've been on the verge of throwing it away twice. But this time, I just asked on Facebook if anyone wanted it, and there were a lot of reactions. It has a new home now!

The unidentified thing


This is only a start. I hope to keep going with this. It would be nice to do a bit of decluttering. Surely I don't need everything I own. And some of it should really get a new lease of life!
