Saturday - the week vanished.......

Housework and I do not make a happy couple. I say this after walking through the house and estimating the amount of dust to be roughly equivalent to the Sahara desert. Give or take a bucket or two. Then I looked through the window out onto the grey skies and noticed that some rogue bird had been doing target parctice and had decorated the glass with gently cascading poop. A new touch of elegance. One I can do without.

So I sighed and sat down at the computer like all intelligent people. Maybe if I wear sunglasses indoors no-one else will notice. Note to all local people: 1.There is dust. So what. I am not sneezing yet. 2. It is cold because I am not switching on the heating, so wear fleeces if you are contemplating visiting. 3. I do make coffee or tea. That will warm you up.

Sigh.

I actually picked up the remote control this morning, and then looked in horror at the clean patch where it had been lying. What do you think I did? Huh? Well, I could have grabbed the polish and duster immediately. I should have. Or grabbed the magic dusting mitten. But that was upstairs. So I very gently put the remote back in exactly the same place. And left the room.

You can tell I am all fired up and ready to leap into things around here, can't you? Exactly. There is more to life than a clean house. That is my motto. Along with the old ones:

• A tidy house is a sign of a mis-spent life
• Please don't write in the dust

Etc. 

Last year, in October, I joined in with the Nesters's 31 day challenge, and it was great fun. I did 31 Days of Memories. I made the commitment to post every day for the month of October, along with hundreds of others around the globe. I have been thinking about this October. I see many of you are joining in, and I am going to do so too, but I am not linking because I can't remember how to do the button thing, and Hello, David, answering your mother's attempts at contact would be splendid now and then. And also, I am quite happy to try to do it again here. There is the picture issue which I am still trying to sort out and also the topic. It will be 31 Days of Something, but I am not sure what yet. Pop over to the Nester and check it out. Monday should be a stellar day for blogs so link up to join in with the bloggy fun!

Right. I do believe my son is sending signals from outer space. I will be back.
