9th October 2013 - Happy Birthday's and House Keeping...

"Thursday - Clean Morning Room Windows !!!!"  A line from an Am Dram play from many years ago - so many years ago that Susie was still acting in those days rather than costume and set design. The simple handyman mutters as he goes about his daily tasks with aspergis commitments....  

Sadly, google searches on this line, "Good Morning Pussy" - the line I seem to remember as the opening line around the breakfast table, and "who wrote the Play Goers" simply give me a googlewhack - my own blog - being written at the moment...

But it is not even Thursday, it is in fact Wednesday, and I forgot to put the rubbish out this morning - I think it was Black bags - but not sure - too late to worry about now...
But Wednesday is my day for the housecleaning - well at least over the last couple of weeks of Home Alone....  Susie being in recovery mode, I sent her back to bed - while I worked on the bleaching of the kitchen floor and the front porch - those two areas where the smell of clean has a great impact over and above the reek of Dog !!  Especially dogs that tend to wee ( cos they are too old !! ) and because they want to pee on an area where another dog has peed. You get a rather geometric progression of escalation - Dog pees - cos it doesn't know any better, so other dog pees to mark the pee, so first marks over the other - so ... and so it goes on !!.   So bleach and kitchen cleaner works well to give a different feeling to the house as you come through the front door...

But that does not help the carpets!!.. And so the first stage of VAX 101  - and managed to get the soap and the water and the buttons to set the brushes and the soap on as the hoover goes around the room. Slow and steady and the carpets of the main room  were well soaped - I think - it doesn't show the soap or any real difference in the colour - but you can feel the pile is wet - so it must be doing something....  Run over again with the brushes and soap off and apparently it will suck all the dirty water back into the machine..  Actually - It still seems wet to me ....   but smells a little better.   Quick run around with the Morrisons special Carpet de-odorising shaky stuff at 85p rather than Shake n VAC at £2.75  and the house smells a little less "Doggy"..


Haven't stopped sneezing yet !!!

So, sitting at the old computator - been working on some Birthday Cards today .... Found a few that will be quite funny and work as part of the marketting...


Thought this was fun....    A touch of Poe...

And my favourite - written especially for Kel on the last day of the Pennine Walk ...


so - a clean smelling house - but still no takers or enquiries for the sale...   Ho Hum ...

Better have a glass of Scotch ....
