Yesterday we started the big clean-up. Today we finished the ground floor.
We were a bit more organised today, dividing the work between us. Also we found some of the details in the cleaner itself and that made things a lot easier. Probably the toughest part was the hall, which hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. The last item on today’s list was the carpet in the kitchen. Neither of us can remember when it was last cleaned, so just for fun, I cleaned half of the carpet and admired the difference between the newly cleaned, wet part and the dry area. I wish, now, that I’d photographed the two halves, just for the record!
After lunch we admired our work then Scamp went out to cut the grass in the back garden, while I went for a walk in St Mo’s. There were a few more damselflies overflying the pond. A couple of Common Blue damsels and a lesser number of Large Reds. No dragonflies yet, but maybe I’m asking for too much. Maybe by mid June, all being well, we’ll see these aerial acrobats. For today I was happy enough to capture the Large Red as PoD.
When I came back we sat and read for an hour or so. Scamp had a Pimm’s and I had a can of Brewdog Black Heart stout. Unfortunately it will be the last from that company which has now gone into liquidation. A great loss. No more Elvis Juice either, for the same reason.
It was another lovely warm day, but the temperature is dropping. There is a cool west wind blowing as I’m writing this and tomorrow may be the last day of this warm spell. Rain predicted for the next week. I suppose it is a good thing, because we won’t need to water the plants if things go the way the weather fairies predict.
I think we may have some family business to deal with tomorrow.
