Getting rid of stuff

[pne]

We now have less stuff in our cellar!

…partly involuntarily.

There was a flea market in our neighbourhood where we sold some of the stuff that’s been lying around for years, and while I was looking for stuff to may sell, I also threw away a lot of old stuff I found (such as all the diskettes, which I can’t read anyway for want of a suitable drive—I even still found some 5¼" ones; I thought I had thrown all those away before!—as well as the cassette tapes I found, again for lack of a suitable “drive”: cassette player, in this case).

But some of the stuff we had to throw away was because mold had got into our cellar. Possibly from the torrential rain a short while ago, which soaked the backs and sides of some of the cardboard boxes closest to the walls and floor. Bummer about that.

A co-worker of mine was out to buy a min-max thermometer a while ago, and all that the shop had were some super fancy measure everything that can be expressed in numbers thingers, so he bought one of these. It also displays humidity, and to his surprise he found that humidity in his cellar was over 90%. Now he's looking for ways to dry the air before mold eats his stuff as well.
