A table for a lamp
Today Tim and I traded a table we no longer use for a lamp a friend of ours no longer uses. A neighbor of ours spotted us loading the long table into the car (with some difficulty, we drive a small Opel Corsa) and said, “Still cleaning things out?” I answered, “Yes, exactly.” “No fun”, she answered understandingly.
The table is the last of it. The last of everything we needed to clean out after the move in January. Except for the two remaining moving boxes behind the door of my office, containing our old VCR and some related junk (pardon the expression, Tim!). And the lamp is one of the last pieces we needed for the livingroom; we never bought one because we planned to trade the table for the lamp .. but just never got around to it until today!
Pretty good feeling, really, swapping something useless for something useful - and knowing the person at the other end of the trade feels the same! Guess I have a small window into what it was like before currency existed and everything was still a barter-economy.
