I'm culling my wardrobe

Being on holidays does have more benefits than a great tan!  As we were away for several weeks, my lovely nephew jumped in to live at our place for a while and look after the house etc.  This meant he needed some space in the wardrobe, so I moved a lot of my clothes into the spare room wardrobe. 

 

Now I have heard a lot about the reverse coat hanger method of working out what clothes you do and don't need.  In this method you reverse all the clothes in your wardrobe, and as you use something it goes in the right way, after a period of time you toss out everything that is in reverse. 

 



Time to toss out some of these clothes!



 

Good advise, but I have gone one step further.  NOTHING is coming back into the bedroom wardrobe unless it has been worn!  After just 3 weeks I have decided some things must go now!  It's drastic I know, but it does seem to work.  If you just do not wear some things, what is the use of having them?  Why do we keep them?

 

The problem: the Pareto Principle, or the 80-20 Rule.   This means that 80% of the output is determined by 20% of the input.   So,  80% of what you wear come from 20% of your wardrobe!

 

 

 

Chez worms has gone upmarket

I made my first worm farm in August, 2013, and it grew to a two story condo!  All was going well in the condo until all the rain we recently had in Sydney.  The polystyrene almost disintegrated!  The worms were wet and all was not well.  Coincidentally the local council sent me a notice about a 1/2 price worm farm - I was in!  It cost me around $35 delivered, is made of sturdy plastic and the worms love it.

A fantastic holiday

We went on our first cruise!  Wow, what a great time we had, we had picked the perfect cruise for us.  It was relaxing, wonderful food, (not fattening), and ended up in Honolulu - even better!

 

We left Sydney on a wet day unfortunately, but Sydney never lets you down in the picture department!

 

 

 

Loved the ship, maybe the martini bar just a bit too much!  But the pools and the art on the ship were fabulous.  These are just a few of the art installations:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the favourite stops on the trip was Tahiti

 

 



 

But you just cannot beat Hawaii

 

 

 

 



 

Oh well, have to get back to reality now, and I will update my Genealogy and recipie blogs this week

(promise), while I dream of the next cruise.
