Having lost its partner, I am left with a solitary butter-soft leather glove. I am resisting chucking it as it is beautiful. But it's also totally useless. Like everything listed here:
- A single glove (or sock, or shoe)
- A dress that's trapped in long gone fashion moment
- A mobile phone rendered obsolete by an upgrade
- An old passport revealing a best forgotten dodgy barnet
- An entry in your address book for a person you no longer see
- A bottle of Metaxa bought on your Greek holiday in '95
- Nail varnish in any time sensitive colour
- Photos of you and an ex you'd rather forget
- An old employment contract
- Old birthday/Christmas cards
A sucker for memorabilia, I've kept things like these, excusing my chronic hoarding with the argument that they have historical value. But it's time for a clear-out: Farewell gorgeous glove, adios '80's frock, bye-bye black nail varnish!
