Boo

Am I one of the world's most boring people? I've not done very much that others might find interesting to read about, but that can't be helped. I've been busy gardening, and having a clear-out of accumulated junk treasures. I've even passed three pieces of furniture to other people, which has freed-up more room for me to fill with some new junk treasures. Funny, isn't it, how we spend the first half of our lives collecting stuff, and then spend the rest of it trying to get rid of things again.

Tastes change over time. When a teenager, I bought a pair of Chinese temple dragons - not quality ones, not artistic ones. These were made from gaudy paper and card, with bright cotton thread for the manes. Standing around 2" high, at the time I thought they were marvellous. They were rescued from the bin by my mother, as I prepared to leave my parental home. She kept those ghastly things on her bedroom shelf for years, as they reminded her of me, or so she said. Reminded her of me in what way? The mind boggles.

Anyway, if you're interested I have added a couple more chapters to Out of the Woodwork on A03. The story is up to 16 chapters now.
