Decluttering: sword in the works

I am going to a two-afternoon course at the City Lit on decluttering my life, in the hope of picking up momentum in my attempts to make space in my home and not store so much.

My main stumbling blocks are not wanting to waste anything, and it might come in useful one day.

On Monday I had my first session at the City Lit. On Tuesday a colleague asked whether I had a sword at home*. I did - a wooden one from doing sword-form at tai chi 15+ years ago. So I've lent it to him to use as a prop.

I haven't used that sword  for all those years, and now it has come in useful!

* He thought to ask me as I used to do archery, so was associated in his mind with weapons. (All my archery gear was sent to someone who was working with an archery club in Uganda.)
