Subject: RE: BS: June'10 Declutter & Exercise Accountability
Major backslide yesterday... Day out with Limpit in the car, navigating by dice (you can only do this in a country where there are lots of turns.. it doesn't work so well in Nevada). You take a die with you and decide on a starting point. Throw the die. If it's an odd number you turn right, if it's an even number you turn left. Travel straight on for the number of junctions/turn offs indicated by the die; so if you throw a 4, you take the next turn left, and travel along that road, taking the 4th junction off it where you throw the die again. We ended up in Kent, in a Himalayan garden - absolutely the right time of year to see it as the rhodedendrons were in full bloom - all shades from snowy white through sunrise yellow and orange, to the usual purple, magenta and deep maroon... stunning! The trees were incredible, the weather perfect and the plants for sale irresistable. There's a purple clematis and a Japanese Acer waiting for me to dig them a hole each in the garden...

We ended up in Rochester eventually, where I managed to declutter my wallet and reclutter my fabric stash... just too many beautiful colours and designs to ignore. Even Limpit bought a fat quarter of fabric although I daresay I'll be the one to finally use it...

When we got home, we had popcorn and watched a movie - and I decluttered the wine rack of a bottle of sauvingon blanc all by myself!

Memo to self... must be good this week.

Yeah, like that'll happen.
