What's everone doing today?

I've been busy playing with my new hoover, no stopping me now  !

Isn't it lovely when you get a new hoover, all enthusiastic with the cleaning.  I bought a Shark last year love it, but the novelty has warn off now.

I can't remember the last time I hoovered.  My husband claimed that job years ago and I don't miss it!

I left the house to top up the bird feeder, a round trip of about 12 yards - and that was it

The novelty will soon wear off with me too Jacq , in the meantime the amount of fluff and dust I've moved from my bedroom was shameful !   I blame the laminate flooring, it wasn't this bad when I had carpet.

I think that too, my laminate in the bathroom has grown fur

Housework is just symbolically moving the dirt around and a complete waste of time.

Well, that’s one way of looking at it. An alternative is the hygienic prevention of squalor

Good morning everybody....    Another day to enjoy !...I have to do 2 Birthday cards  by  next week.....Today I search for inspiration....

Micky and I used to dedicate a whole day per week to clean the house. We had two vacs....one upstairs and one downstairs.....Micky put some lovely music on...and I was singing and dancing while cleaning.....   


With the double glazing, the dust was not much of a problem....When we could not clean the house anymore, we found a "treasure" young lady and she is still my friend.....!  She was very good  and so very kind and cheerful !

I love a clean home.  With vases of flowers in the rooms.  The first daffodils of Spring......Micky always bought me a bunch of the first violets....On my Birthday, always bought me breakfast in bed...The tray with a prittily embroidered tray cloth  ( I still have a vast collection of english old embroidery...)A small vase with a few flowers he nurtured in the garden specially for the day....and his own handmade (computer downloaded....) Birthday card !And he wrote the most beautiful  words of his love for me !    I simply adored him.  Miss him so. 

Have a day sitting down with a nice cup of tea, and simply remember your happiest times......It will help a bit, in these so unsecure times we are in !.....gmx   PS. We can use a lot of loving !.....

Very heavy rain overnight, but it's clearing up now and forecast is for a largely dry and warmer day.
Curiously the central heating switched itself on during the night.  Many houses here have external boilers and they have a frost protection thermostat.   It didn't switch on during the recent frost and snow, so I'm surprised that it did last night during the wind and rain.   

Mrs. T plans to do some baking today and if it is a bit warmer, I might get back to clearing out my workshop.

Still raining here not looking forward to exercising Roxy in the thawing snow.


Be interesting to see how many more types of wild birds visit my feeding station.


I'll be getting some cleaning done otherwise just one more day in isolation.

Not doing much.. De-frosted freezer.. It's a good looking SMEG.. but a pain in the bum because of having to de-frost it..
Very darkish here today.. lights on in the house.. Since all the problems I find the weekends very boring.. Just a couple of dog walkers passing by the house..

Managed to get go Veronica’s grave for the first time since Wednesday. The lane is just wet, but getting to it via the state of the yard and the drive was a bit fraught

The dirt in our house certainly gets moved around.

It gets moved from the floor, into the vacuum cleaner & then into the bin.

I'm pleased you got to visit Veronica, do you normally go every day to have a chat with her, weather permitting?

[granny moss]

I would be very distressed if I thought Micky is buried under a cold wet heavy soil and lots of worms......  I Have a nice photo of him and I have made a small corner for him. A very pretty Shrine. And I can put a small posy in a tiny vase he liked. Also I have an Angel and a votive tea candle, which I light for him as a prayer.   I do not go to cemeteries. Our loved ones are not in there !  They are all around us and care for us and want us to carry on with our lives and be happy. I feel their love all the time. gmx

Granny Moss I love your post, and so kindly put, each time I switch on a photograph of Yvonne appears and I say good morning love.
