It’s confession time at Robert Scott’s place. The Breeze radio host and his wife Carmel Murphy are talking about how they’ve recently downsized from their family home to an apartment and Robert reveals decluttering was tricky for him because he tends to be a bit of a hoarder.
“Cassettes from throughout my 35 years in radio, posters I had on my bedroom walls in the 1970s and 1980s, cards from my first birthday… it’s hard for me to let go of things,” he admits.
“But moving to a much smaller place, I just had to get rid of so much stuff.”
“He’s terrible, he keeps everything,” adds Carmel (46). “He even had diaries from years ago that he had written in every day.”
“I had about six from 1980 to 1986,” confirms Robert. Then he adds in a whisper, “Actually, I’ve still got those.”
“You haven’t!” exclaims Carmel.
“They don’t take up much room,” mumbles Robert (53).
At that, Carmel rolls her eyes. “There’s storage downstairs
so we’ve all got a memory box of things we could keep. There were things I didn’t want to part with, like the kids’ first shoes.
“I don’t know what went in Robert’s box but clearly he couldn’t part with the diaries.”
“The thing is, they’re so boring,” says Robert. “Stuff like, ‘March 3, 1981: Met up with the guys, went for a drive around the square, got a hamburger. Had an early night.’
“It gets a bit more exciting when I met my first girlfriend, but oh my God, the emotions of a 17-year-old boy are just cringeworthy. Now I look at it and it’s so sappy and soppy.”
“And still, you’ve kept them,” says Carmel.
