Algunos llaman a estos artículos “pongos”; los “pongo" aquí, lo “pongo” allí...
Bueno es como un bodegón de artículos contenedores.

That is a new meaning for 'pongo'. Our naval sailors have another meaning. It is what they call soldiers. You will have to see if you can find an explanation in Spanish. I think the Google translator might not translate it easily!

Wonder if the brown cabinet in the back is a pie safe ?

Do you take your pies to bed, for a midnight snack? I think it is a bedside cabinet. Pies are not safe in our house. If I lived alone, I would probably live off pies!
This is the shop of a house clearance company. I expect that most of these items will have memories - some were probably gifts, some mementoes of holidays, some inherited from a loved relative .....

They sell almost anything that they find in houses, that they are hired to clear, usually after the occupant has died or gone into a care home.

A couple living down the road from me are in that line of business. They have other businesses which take most of what's any good. Occasionally though, they have 'garage sales' at their home, of things which are too good for the tip but not wanted elsewhere. The street gets a lot of traffic early on Saturday mornings.

Our son, who lives in Melbourne, says that they have periodic 'nature strip' days, when unwanted items are put on the grass strips between the houses and the road, and you can help yourself. At the end of the day the council collects everything that hasn't been taken.

So has your son sent photos of Melbourne's suburb of Seaford? One lot of my grandparents retired to there.

Sadly my city doesn't have 'council cleanups' like that. They have them in Brisbane and they had them in Sydney where I grew up. Some people still do put things out for others to take in spite of the lack of official 'cleanups'. There is a bbq in front of a house in the next street this week. I've got a few electronic bits and pieces by that means.

Early on when he and his Aussie wife moved there he did send me a shot of the road sign. There is also another in the US. We are known as a retirement town, or rather have been. Since we moved down here, retiring from working in London, a lot more families have moved down and it seems that the working from home practice, brought on by Covid, is encouraging more to move. If they only have to go into their London offices two or three times a week, the hour and a quarter commute seems more bearable.

I meant they retired to the Melbourne Seaford. It was sparsely settled then... They were across the road from Port Phillip Bay. Grandpa had a small timber boat, to go fishing in, upside down on the beach.

I understood that. I don't know whether the Melbourne Seaford has that reputation but our one has never been marketed as a seaside resort and has few of the trappings of one. There are only a few small hotels, none of which are on the seafront. We have more care homes than hotels. The town council has only recently decided we need a few more kiosks selling takeaway food and drinks to add to the two we had.
We only discovered Seaford by chance, a little while before we were in a position to escape from work and family commitments in London.
