My Very Last Bulk Collection Week...

It's been 20 years since my family made the collective decision to settle down on our street... every year, we have 1 week where all households can put out all their junk to be collected... each year, I have managed to do my bit and clear the house of unwanted items... never have I thought that I would put out as much as what I had this one last time... 

Spent the whole sunday past clearing out the 2 garden sheds we have... suffice to say, there were a lot of stuff that lined the front verge... my front yard now looks like a junk yard... it did not start out that way mind you... everything was stacked in an orderly fashion... but the visitors who came to look through them and take what they want left a messy pile behind... I have counted 10 vehicles stopping and looking since lunchtime today... they are mostly vans and station wagons... most of them were women... I so feel like going out there and start stacking them again... 

One thing that irked me was that some stupid idiots smashed 3 working fans for no apparent reason on Sunday afternoon... thats so irritating... though I may not need it but someone else may have a use for them... and these people with nothing better to do, decided to destroy them... aargh... hope Karma will catch up with them and bite them on the bottom real hard... grrr...

The photos here were taken on Sunday afternoon and also this afternoon... will try to remember to take one of when all these things are removed... hope it will be tomorrow... its getting to me and the pathway is getting cluttered... not good for pedestrians who walk along it...

It feels sad somehow... to know that I will be ending a life that I am so comfortable with for so long... it will be a new adaptation again when I leave for home... hmm... where or what exactly is home?
