spring cleaning

We've spent the last week "cleaning" our apartment. I think maybe "clearing" is a better word for it. We've gone through every box, every drawer and every corner of our closets in a massive purging expedition. Folks, it has been a long week! Were it possible to weigh the whole lot of our possessions before and after this feat of domestic pruning, the difference would be more than a HALF TON. I'm not joking. Granted, we need to procure more seating for guests, but in the meantime, we are really enjoying the space, the simplicity and the relief.

Congratulations! As a reliable first hand witness (with pre-dumpster-diving options on some of the clearing), I can testify to the MASSIVE effort you guys have put in. As they say where I come from (referring to people, and not meat): well done!

Thanks, Bron! So, if one were to desire overly-cooked steak in South Africa, how would one request such a thing from a waiter?
