General Discussion / Re: High Density Housing

Most of the things left in my house will mean little to the children. Some may be remembered by grandchildren from times they stayed. I find it hard binning items. Even those I don't particularly like myself. Everything has a history and it's the history that is the treasure. A phone busts - in the bin, A TV  busts - in the bin. Bust some valueless item bought in a charity shop 20 years ago? That gets kept. I even sometimes repair such things it they get accidentally damaged.

My grandmother left nothing at all but a needle case belonging to her own mother who had died young .
She was very poor all her life so she never set store by possessions .

I remember asking if I could have boots. I meant Beatle type boots. I got god awful sensible ones. I hated them.

Of course we carry memories.... In our minds..
But, we can not carry (all) the memories  (material things) that others in the past have collected..
  The weight is far too heavy..
 I wouldn't expect my family to keep all the (material) memories that were/are important to only me..

I don't get as many birds in the garden as I once did.. 
Nothing has changed, so I have no idea where they have gone..
 I don't think I have seen a Robin this year..

But we do carry memories .
And our memories are weak .

As the Chinese saying goes

The strongest memory is weaker than the palest ink .

Of course we won't worry after we are gone we will be dead !

Another lovely day forecast. 
I must get outside and do some more jobs.  Hoovering can be done on a wet day!  :smiley:

I shall be doing bits and bobs indoors and out in the garden.. Nothing too strenuous..
