h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What a difference a month makes. It's about 6 in the morning here and already it's nearly 58 degrees (around 14) and supposed to get up to 99 (37). Outside our ponds are filled with lilly pads and flowers, I hope the are enjoying it, I certainly am.

Yesterday was Mr. Nerd's and my 14th anniversary. So we worked, what with it being midweek and all, but started out the morning with a small glass of and had another once we were both back home.

We're still doing the trips to clear out his late father's house. We're now down to the layer that Mr. Nerd remembers from his childhood. It's amazing how much a dedicated pack-rat can accumulate and certainly an object lesson to us all about consumption. You can't take it with you, and if you aren't using it, get it to someone who can before it breaks, molders, rusts, spoils, or otherwise becomes useless. Much of the stuff was rubbish and went to the dump, but everything still useful but otherwise unclaimed/unwanted by one of the surviving children has gone to charity.

But it hasn't been all that. Last weekend we attended a craft beer festival - as venders no less. What were we vending? Fun - we were part of a musical act.

I just found you through AlsoRan80's messages. Can I pinch your piece about hoarding stuff, print it off and put it on my wall? It is what I need to be reminded of every day as I try to clear stuff out!

Perhaps it might give me the impetus to get on with it, instead of putting it all back.
