Things I couldn't throw into the skip
Their wedding telegrams
His scout's badge and jamboree songbook
Her Girls Own Almanac, 1938
Their bedroom barometer
(red and green arrows missing)
His framed business registration
Her workplace training program:
(Transactional Analysis for Managers, Footwear Department)
Their mortgage discharge papers
His first pilots' licence
Her golf clubs
Their Morris Oxford Owners Manual
His plastic sandals
(for fishing Burrendong)
Her easels, paints and brushes
His father's cutthroat razor and strop
Her book of Scottish psalms
The receipt for their burial plots
