With a completed draft of my book emailed to my wonderful mentor before heading off on our NT trip in early July, the intention was to tackle a lengthy list of tasks on my To Do list when we returned. A broken wrist suffered while we were away put the kybosh on that idea - full details in an earlier blog post - but with that now on the mend I can finally tick off one item on that list: cleaning out our large walk-in pantry.
A couple of wet days this week ensured I was able to enlist John's help to clean the top shelves, and avoid multiple trips up and down the stepladder. The pantry is amazing and was clearly designed to house bottles and jars of processed produce grown by previous owners in what is now our large vegie garden. But while we certainly grow a few vegies, and berry fruits, I am not into bottling and preserving. Freezing stuff is more my style and John is the jam-maker - he's the one that eats it - so after dispensing with a pile of jars, plastic containers of various sizes, and bit and pieces we are never likely to use again, the pantry is under control - and clean and tidy.
Next on the list is to sort the linen cupboard and - sigh - culling a bookshelf or two. That will not be easy but there are definitely some books I'll not read again, that have had their day so far as a place on my bookshelves are concerned, and need to be appreciated by someone else.
