at the thought that I spent an entire year living in the house filled with the crap of which it has now been cleansed.
As luck would have it, no sooner had I decided to do this than I consulted my rubbish collection chart and discovered that the monthly collection of broken pots, pans, electrical components and general unburnable unrecyclable crap happens today, which gave me a nifty little deadline to get this done by.
Last night I returned home from the festival and made one last lunge for the tatami room.
As a result I have finally managed to rid my cupboard (and, with any luck, the world) of the monstrosity pictured above. Most of the other crap I accepted as having, once upon a time, been useful in some way. For this “pillow”, approximately the size of a 13 year old child, I could find no excuse. Take a good look to ensure you don’t miss out on the horror of it. The dangling arms, the awful alarm clack handily (ho ho) built in to one of the paws, the leering velcro-textured face. As an added bonus, of course, the previous occupent clearly enjoyed using this pillow. Just look at those stains.
What a treat.
