#GoodMorningWorlds
I will be cleaning today as we have a friend coming to visit and stay for an overnight.
It will be great to catch up with her.
Apparently we will be having fish and chips for dinner, again, now we know that the chippie will be open this evening.

#HarrietAndDaisy
A 1:12 scale diorama of the road outside Daisy's house. Daisy's red brick terrace house is on the left with a small front garden area, a low brick wall, and stone gate posts. The house abuts against a high concrete wall, with a fence on the top, that cuts off the road to support the elevated ring road on the other side. In the road are two wheelie bins, one green and one blue, with '6 Lister Drive'' painted on them. On the right is a rusty metal piling wall that slopes down following the line of the embankment. Scrubby trees and shrubs grow on the embankment spilling over into the road. There is graffiti on the concrete and the steel walls. Harriet, a Caucasian woman with dark hair, glasses, and wearing a white tee shirt and blue jeans, is running full speed down the garden path towards the road. Daisy, a Caucasian woman with fair hair, wearing a grey tee shirt and green trousers is running out of her house door, right behind Harriet. They are chasing Monty Dog, Harriet's grey and black dog, who has run out of the house as there is another dog outside. Monty and the stray white terrier dog are side by side sniffing each other, and probably making friends.

Bore Da!

How are you this morning?
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things
Yay for the bolster pillow, and a proper night's sleep!
I do like my memory foam contoured pillow from Ikea, it really works for me.

I had a really bad night's sleep, uncomfortably too warm and too cold, and back in to being drenched in sweat at about 2am. I thought that stopped, but I guess not.

However, I am feeling bright and well now that I am up and awake.

I will be getting the vacuum out when I've had my coffee and working my way through the house with it. Then I need to mop all the hard floors. I don't mind either job.
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things
Errrr...
I might not mind, only because I can't afford to get a cleaner in, and vacuuming and mopping are less traumatic than dusting around ornaments*.

Maybe one day, when we have moved and downsized and saved a bit more money from selling the house, etc. we could afford to get a cleaner in who will kindly and nicely nudge us into having less crap getting in the way of cleaning.

*Glass cabinets for all the ornaments would be another route to make dusting less unpleasent.
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things
Yep, same.

I only 'enjoy' certain chores because it is the only way to make sure they are done, and done in the way I want and need them to be done.

I often end up remaking other people's beds before I can sleep in them, so I might as well just make the bed myself to start with.

I like bedding that doesn't have folds and creases in the sheets, and duvets that are not 'baggy' and lumpy.
They don't need to be irons, just pulled taut.
