Which is worse?

Rachael asked "Which is worse?"


""Have you ever played the "Which is Worse?" game. You know, the one where you are given two completely horrible scenarios, and you have to choose the lesser of the two evils. 

Which is worse: Eating only Brussels sprouts for a week or go hungry for a week?""

I guess some people in Australia are thinking- which is worse: drought or flood. After a decade of bad drought, now there are terrible floods. Here are some amazing photos from early this month of the floods.


For me at the moment: Having to throw out perfectly good stuff now, and feel like it is a waste or ending up with a house full of old broken things?

I've spent the last week/s emptying our house of stuff. Throwing out my old language learning notes, old letters and cards. Finding new homes for saucepans, plates etc. Knowing the washing machine we bought still has a lot of life left in it but we can't get any use out of it, saying goodbye to books that I may find useful/interesting in the future but I just can't carry them all....

But on the other hand, if I lived in one place for many years I'd probably complain too. i'd end up with so much old stuff that will have to be thrown away at some point.
