Well, that was the plan.

Yesterday, we got the first box out and found all sorts of things we’d forgotten we owned. It was like Christmas. If we’d followed the rules, most of it would have gone to the charity shop but other than a plastic cat mask, which was cracked, we just couldn’t part with anything! Our house is fairly minimalist, with hardly anything on display but we did have the Garuda (left) out on his own, in splendid isolation.  Yesterday, however, we found two Balinese puppets and it was obvious they would look great with our Balinese Garuda. And then we came across the frog. How could we part with the frog and lily leaf? And so it went on.

So now, we’ve cleared out one box, thrown away a cat mask and suddenly have a lot more stuff  gathered round Garuda.

I’ll be more ruthless tomorrow, honest!
