22 towels

Image
By
They were in a few different places so we didn't realise until today that we had 22 towels. That seems a lot for two people. So we had a cut session.

It's a bit like the sports coach who has to pick the final team from a squad of players. In that spirit, we picked our final line-up of 4 bath towels, 2 guest towels, 4 beach towels and one guest beach towel.

As I write this, even 11 sounds like a lot. But we're making progress. Also, we know of someone in need who could use a towel or two - so that's also a great incentive to lighten our load.

PS. As I wrote this I assumed that 22 was an unusually large number for two people. It just seemed big. Perhaps it's normal. What do you think? How many do you have?

    A lot! More than 22...they are almost all inherited. For 2 people and a dog I have about 4 beach towels, 6 main towels, 2 lightweight camping towels, 6 guest towels and about 10 towels that are very ratty and used for the dog (dog blankets, cleaning up muddy paws, etc). I plan to use them until they're beyond repair (they will continue to get downgraded until they're too ratty even to use on the dog) then give them to my husband who will use them as shop rags...except the camping towels.

You know what to do. Ignore this ad!

By
Yes, jewellery stores pump out the ads around valentine's day - that's no surprise. After all it's a made-up day designed to sell more stuff at higher prices. But this year they seem extra desperate to sell stuff we don't want, with the "You know what to do" campaign. I reckon the sales team are scared by the number of couples that have realised that love is not in physical merchandise but in quality time. So they've made an ad exactly about these people. The message seems to be aimed straight at guys to say "even if you and your partner agree not to waste money on jewellery, you should buy her some anyway". Apparently in a relationship it's important to ignore what your wife or partner says and do what profit-motivated corporations tell you to do. I tend to disagree. If you're interested have a look - it's interesting to see how transparent it is.

The Transformer Table

By
Our new table transforms itself, and our view of furniture Here is our new table It has 3 modes. Friends mode: Seating up to 6 for dinner or board games. Couple mode: Great for the two of us. Or for doing some writing while looking out at the view. 99% mode: Most of the time we don't need a table, so it folds away. Storage in the side drawers. Best of all it allows the space to be multipurpose. Ordinarily a traffic area (between the kitchen, other rooms and the balcony) it can also be a spacious area for the two of us, a table for 6, or an expanded lounge area if we push the lounge furniture back. How it transforms homes Traditionally each room has one purpose. TV room for TV; bedroom for bed; study for studying; the dining room for the dining table. When furniture is cleverly designed , spaces can be multifunctional and we don't need so many rooms. It's one of the key concepts behind tiny homes . One of the architects from The Tiny House Company showed...
