According to the precepts of Feng Shui, we should not have anything blocking our doors and windows as this way you block the flow of energy. Feeling we need a great gust of energy, I put an old blue carpet of ours, that has lain rolled up on the back veranda for about two years, on Bidding Wars at the beginning of the week.
John was not convinced anyone would buy it and suggested we give it away, but I had no idea who to give it to and felt it would be easier to advertise it for sale and have someone come and fetch it. I set a starting bid of $5 and, quite amazingly, it eventually went for $20.
Today, a man comes to fetch it. He has driven all the way from Gwanda to pick it up. Gwanda is not that far away, but quite far when you consider the problems getting fuel, the roadblocks and the fact that the carpet is not in the best of conditions. However, he is over the moon and happily rolls it up and puts it in the boot of his car. When I ask him how he got through the roadblocks, he says he told the police he was going to see someone in hospital and they let him through.
With our ill-gotten gains, we go out for a cup of coffee. Sian and Ellie have a milkshake. The combination of an outing, a treat the fact that we got rid of the old blue carpet lifts all our spirits. I go to sleep wondering what else we can get rid of. The energy is already beginning to flow.
