part of a line from a song:

"...they kept you safe and so secure amongst the books and all the records of your lifetime".

While we were away, I've been wondering what all the 'stuff' was in the house in Sandhurst. All the stuff that we've been getting on without for the last couple of weeks. All I could think of where the 'books and records of our lifetime'. Plus a few guitars, several cameras and many photographs. Now we're back, it seems, there's parrots and juggling balls here as well. How much of this stuff do we need?
