So, Fires in Arizona as the heat rises past acceptable levels even for Americans.
Here, the hottest day of the year in the South East, but they are welcome to it, here it was a muggy normal chilly day, which was about what we needed to clear out part of the flat of the Inlaws/Outlaws. De-clutter was the name of the game and it was clear that beds and chairs had not been moved for quite a time, as we managed to get to all the corners and get the hoover into place. Rationalisation was the name of the game as well, trying to ensure that the maximum amount of space was available for movement and access - things that had not been so important 10 years ago when they moved in....
Of course - finding 9 electric shavers and countless telephones only shows how technology is changing, though a large excess of wrist watches - far more than could adorn any wrist!! was harder to explain....
But a few hours meant that a deep clean and a fresh room for early return was there..
Meanwhile- in the Plotment, the devastation behind the Deaf Centre that Susie so happily inherited as her new cabbage patch, the clearance goes ahead. Around 20 square meters of jungle has been tamed down to weed bed, though putting the brambles into the carry bags has left my arms covered in rash and cuts ...probably could do with a daughter's chainsaw... even if we are not safe !!!
A few more boxes from the outlaws have joined our tower, mainly CD and books, not likely to be used for a while. Irons, hair dryers and portable vacuum joined our lists for ebay sometime in the future.
Roast pork for dinner - who could ask for more - and friends popping round to join us led to 2 litres of home made red biting the dust..
Better settle my stomach with a drop of scotch methinks....
g'night...
