Finalizing some things

 A day spent getting things sorted in different ways... things like the financial adviser juxtaposed with clearing/sorting/storing the remaining clutter in the bungalow. I had to check how to use juxtaposed in a sentence I think I have it right.
When I say sorting it is a bit of a rough sort as at this stage as the sort has only been in the broad sense, that is to keep it our throw it out in the skip we have currently in the driveway. The finer details of the sort needs to be done but not at this stage.

The "before" photo of the great sorting expedition
I could actually post this photo again as the after photo all that would be different would be seeing what is in the upper layer and a couple of other bits missing. It has been a big task and still lots to be done.

We took things out to the skip and put some things on the nature strip for interested passersby to enjoy. Enjoy they did- the kids up the road now have a couple of my discarded snow domes- I have had to weed the collection which was looking decidedly sad and dried up. Cars were stopping and perusing the pile of "treasures". Spencer's barking was letting us know that people were looking. We went out to dinner at the pub and by the time we got home there was nothing left on the nature strip and lots of things taken from the skip.  Street shopping at its finest.

 A friend sent me this link to a lovely soul stirring Youtube "event" that not only raises the spirits but raises money too to help those who have been devastated by the recent natural disasters in Australia.
Queensland and the eastern states of Australia have been devastated by the worst floods in living memory. Variety WA and Storyteller Media got together to produce this Flash Mob video with the Variety Youth Choir performing 'I Am Australia' at the Karrinyup Shopping Centre food hall. Proceeds from the Google and YouTube ads to the flood disaster relief fund.
Variety is a childrens charity so the money raised will go directly to childrens needs.
