DEAR News Of The Area,

MY husband (of nearly sixty years) keeps saying he is going to sort out his ‘stuff’.

He will have to, as he is a bit of a hoarder and the kids keep telling him it is all going in a skip.

I know he is doing his best when everything goes very quiet.

A box will have his full attention and each piece is examined carefully – then usually replaced.

A very small pile goes into the garbage, but a happy human eventually replaces the box for another time.

It is going to take a while, so it is good that he has plenty of spare time.

Perhaps this is why we have old age – a time for memories?

Regards,
L ALLEN,
Hawks Nest.
