Another load of books gone

46/49 went

I'm up to 138 books taken from outside the door:-). I had thought we reached saturation point last week, bit was apparently because the sign said only "Bücher Zu Verschenken", not "Englische Zu Verschenken" and no Anglophones stopped to look.

 The coffe maker was left at a "Leave and Take" kiosk and went in 5 minutes (as we watched from the cafe across the street).

More books and magazines

After last weekend, more books went then I had thought- only 5 left. Today we added 17 to make 22, a bunch of German children's magazines (they went in 5 minutes) and old Ex-Berliners (they are a good resource for finding shops in Berlin).

Let's see how this goes. I'm also writing up an ad for next week-appliances and furniture.

Mainly clothes

My very favorite (although fake) bag- so worn and leather-bare that I am actually too embarrassed to carry it any more. Shirts and t-shirts and a pair of shoes that are too worn: all to Orange bin recycling.

A piggy bank and a sweater that I will put out this weekend to see if anyone takes (and if not, will go on Friday to the "Give and Take" kiosk, a skirt and a shirt that are too worn and are off to the orange bin.

Books

32 books and some DVDs, set outside to give away. The DVDs went and about 15 books: thi first Zu Verschenken failure so far. Perhaps there aren't enough English speakers in our German neighborhood?

We pulled them in when the weather turned grey—I'll try again next weekend, and add about 10 more that I have culled so far.

More Paper

It never ends.

Paper

Went through pikes of paper work and pulled out the trash and no longer needed- paper recycling and garbage.

Electronics

A CD player/radio that hit the ground too often, an alarm clock that did the same, and a small piece of wood: all to the Orange bin for recycling.
