Tough times for a hoarder

In the past, I've been known to collect all sorts of old junk. But at times like this, there's an understandable ban on collecting more stuff - the more we have, the more it costs to ship it.

There are a few things that remain on the 'acceptable' list however, including luggage.

Which is fantastic, as tonight walking home from work, I stumbled upon this beautiful old Durolite Air Travel suitcase. One thing I'll miss about Sydney is the generosity of it's residents who oh so often place perfectly good vintage wares outside their houses for passers by to re-use. Indeed, with it's working locks, and clean interior, the proportions of the Durolite will ensure its place right at the bottom of the stack of other luggage we own, and will form the perfect vessel for transporting all the clutter from my desk to Felixstowe docks.
