For sale!

Getting ready to go home, we had a decision to make... give our stuff away, sell it or leave it. I offered it to some friends and then tried to sell it to our landlord for like, 100 euros or something. They didn't ever get back to us so we put up some signs around the block of flats and I put a free ad in the local paper.



It was stuff like this... without the clothes (this was actually the stuff that I had to fit into my backpack).



For Sale!

So we had a kinda 'garage sale' for all the stuff we had accumulated over our four years in Ireland. Glasses, duvets, bedside tables, wine racks, muffin trays, small furniture, a small tv, my playstation2, towels, a scale, a feather-duster, etc.



It was pretty much pnly foreigners that were interested... no doubt knowing a good deal when they hear it. Most of things were about 2-5 euros and only the furniture was a bit more.





But it all adds up and by the end, we had made about 300 euros. That's about R4000! That will go bloody far once we get back home.

Why did I include this photo? To show you what a spread Cath cooks up. Oh and so I could include this one photo below. ALAN! This is how she cooks for me - I had to show you. Now from time to time, the meal is, say, only a seven out of 10. But presentation is always a 10!

Before we left Ireland, we had one last stop at Gabs and Stew (and Thomas). Michele came round to wish us off too, which was awesome. Look at me... get a few glasses of wine in me and I'm a cheap date.

As if Facebook, gmail and hotseminakedswedishblondes.com weren't taking up enough of my time, now I'm writing a blog!

Oh well - it just goes to show - any idiot can write a blog.
