Fire Starter

Tried to clear a shelf of old 'important' letters and papers. Didn't get very far. No wonder we avoid tasks like this, such a bore, but then it gets out of hand.
Tore off names & addresses and burnt them, so much went into the recycling. 
I did come across a few old photos, mom's recipes and cards, which of course went back onto said shelf. 
Doesn't look like I've touched it.
