Here
we have the after-Christmas-dinner candles and port wine scenario
from the 2017 festivities. Following, is my late December 'got to do
something' pantry turn around - yes, not just the usual shuffling of
a few items into best before dates, but a total re-do.
This
time I put things in groups, such as all the fruit and nuts, all the
raw food energy bars, all the chestnuts, all the curry
kits...but still in order of best before date.
It
looked a bit messy, and I was sure i could reorder it in a neater
fashion - so on NYE, I took everything out, wiped the shelves clean,
and put things back.
That
takes us to February - at which point I got down to serious work on
recreating a coffee lounge out of the former outhouse-darts
room-dining room-store room.
As
you can see, the room was used for gum boots, paint, and bags...also
chilies and other plants, tools and planks of wood.
My
first task was to polyfill the exterior holes and cracks in the brick
work. Once the weather permitted this at the end of the first week of
the month, I was ready to begin the slow task of turning a messy
grubby room into a neat and tidy lounge with coffee table, sofa and
carpet. The first job after the external brickwork fix was to remove
most of the interior cobwebs, which I have now done.
