One can enjoy owning the smallest canalhouse in Delft, and connected with it the most phographed frontdoor of my city, it doesn't say one can stuff it with a lot of stuff.
What kind of stuff....wow, lets say from bills, taxreturns, political and other archives, photographes, a langaugecourse, and more paperwork concerning politics, gaymovement, Kik, etc etc etc...not to mention papermemories from my mother and father, etc etc etc
When one is moving house, one just pack it all and simply move it to your next home, BUT when one , in a way, moves abroad next to also moving to a much smaller place in once own country, one has to make a slection.
Now, I have trouble selecting what should stay, what should go, what I should have at my futur Thai home, and what I should keep in my futur new Dutch home... knowing that space is limited, knowing that when shipping stuff one should try to limit oneself to only true necessary things. Haha... thats very very hard for me, because its all mine. Would be easy when it would be your stuff I guarantee you, at leats for me that is ;-)
Knowing I am really bad at this part of that particular necessary excersise, I asked a dear friend of mine who used to work as secretary at Rijswijks cityhall, to come and help me. And Ellen was so sweet to agree to do just that!
And today she went at it.... and wow, did she go for it...now I type this little entry looking around happy to see that so much clutter (as they call it I believe in english, I just remember) has gone. And we, well Ellen way more then myself, only did the first floor, 2,70 by 4 meters, haha.... and the two garbagebags allready outdoors now enjoy another2/3 for company, while waiting to be collected. All in all the total of stuff trown away now totals at this moment14 big garbagebags plus 2 movingboxes... and I know more will follow.
And the lousy thing of it all is that one doesn't notice directly when one walks into my house, haha.... well, I know I'll notice when the movers get here , thats for sure!!
Friday Ellen wil come again in the morning to help me to attack the attick-room of same small house and also 2,70 by 4 meters..... curious how she will push me there to select and trow stuff out, or what I should keep!
Strange eyes work wonders in that respect!!
