Relocated

Today is Sunday and it is a glorious autumn day. I have done 3 loads of washing, including the bed linen. This afternoon I will go to my regular Scrabble group. There is usually just 3 or 4 of us and we play several games.

Last week I continued working on getting the 3rd bedroom set up the way I would like. I have taken bundles to the op shop. These were mostly things that were left over from the community garage sale and that I had collected from other sources to sort out.

There is a small, plastic adjustable shelf that I no longer need. I am giving it away and it is being picked up this week.

Otherwise, there are only a few things left to deal with. The pile of towels is to be donated to a charity in Melbourne when I next head there. We need to buy some adhesive to attach a mirror to the wall and then hang the pictures once the mirror is in place.

I also sorted out the wardrobe. It had become a storage area for some of the equipment and supplies for our local film group. There is now some dedicated cupboard space at the hall where we screen the movies so I have rehomed them and freed up space in our house.

The ‘new’ cupboard with all of the catering supplies and equipment.

A bit of rearranging means that the home brew and some exercise equipment now have a specific location rather rather being shuffled around from place to place.

Every small step does make a difference.

Where’s the Wine?

In our previous home we had a storage space under the internal staircase and several dozen bottles of wine. We had a large modular storage system for them but decided to sell it when we were relocating interstate.

Like many things, the wine collection has been downsized somewhat, however, it still needs to be stored somewhere. The cartons have been in the wardrobe of the 3rd bedroom but invariably the desired bottle is always in the most difficult box to access.

We had talked about a variety of options but the wardrobe remained the best location due to the maintenance of a fairly steady temperature.

A few days ago I found some wine racks advertised on Facebook Marketplace so we decided to check them out. They are the same style as what we had previously and are perfect for the space we have.

GMan is very happy with the arrangement as it will make finding a particular bottle much easier. Additionally, it is much simple to keep track of exactly what he has.
