Clearing out the wardrobe

[wiseheart]

We've attacked the long-overdue wardrobe clearing today. Two large bags of clothes will go to charity (my friend Elise regularly takes such stuff to a small village where the need is great), another bag with really old and ruined clothes will go to the garbage bin. Our neighbour has accepted the ice cream cups (made of stainless steel) for taking it to the school of her grandson where they'll be put to good use, especially since they aren't breakable. Certain friends and colleagues have accepted serviette rings, baking forms and so on.

So yeah. The whole mess is about to bring us some relief. We still have more stuff than we can reasonably use, but at least we've got rid of a lot, and it will go somewhere where it can still be used.

Daughter-in-law did the same, brought old clothes to Romania. Covid put an end to that. Now those clothes get collected in containers, then during night some of those containers get forced open, and you might find your old wardrobe on a private flea market. Not fair, some people making money with articles that were never supposed to come into their posession!

No indeed.
Aber es gibt immer Mistkerle die aus dem Elend — oder Großzügigkeit — anderer Leute Profit machen. Meine Oma sagte immer: "Sollen sie das Geld für Arznei ausgeben müssen!" Oma konnte sich über solche Sachen fürchterlich aufregen.
