    Irritable Owl Syndrome sounds nasty!
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Whether I'll change my mind when confronted with actually binning them remains to be seen...
      Nah, hang on to them, or at least scan them first. Eventually they'll be old enough to be interesting to someone - grandchildren, maybe?

        You're no help!!

        Got rid of a box of random ornaments to the charidee shoppe, and a big picture, which changed colour magically when I wiped a cloth over it.

          Scan the slides & negatives - keep them for the future. Bin the cine (or burn it - it burns well ) - unless you're like me and collect old projectors, you'll not have something to watch it on.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            There's a projector - do you want it?

              The ZeitMiele is doing its first run.

              It reckons it's gonna take a mere 3 hours.

              I'm doing the towels at 60 deg C.

              At least that's what I think its doing.

              It's so complicated that it's beyond my limited comprehension of such things*.

              Pity they don't still make twin tubs.

              I could understand them.

              *Took ages to find out what the little key icon with a bar through it meant. Apparently, if I've understood correctly, the little key icon loses its bar if the contents are over 55 deg C to stop you scalding yourself.

                Having so done, it revealed a number of scratches and dings here & there that were invisible when covered in crap.

                After that I chainsawed some logs into useful sizes to burn on the fire.

                Just ready for the summer.

                  I've spent many hours perusing ancient b&w photos of my parents & grandparents & possibly great grandparents.

                  I wouldn't throw them away.

                  The machine is now making some very sudsy sorts of noises.

                    The ZeitBadBackAndLumbago(tm) has not been overly improved by the chainsawing operations or the log carrying up the garden operation.

                    It's odd that I seem to seize up after sitting down for a while, whereas it's reasonably ok if I keep moving.

                    Forgot to buy some more ibuprofen in Morrisons this morning.

                      I've had that sort of thing happen.

                      The cloth changed colour dramatically too.
