It's been a while since I woke up feeling like a good spring clean.
The sound of the neighbours vacuum cleaner could have sparked some feeelings of guilt?
Or the fact that the sun is shining bright and hot for the first time in ages....
Whatever it was got me going nice and early - well, nine is early for me!
Unfortunately the spring clean got out of hand and turned into a bit of mania.
When on my hands and knees reaching into a corner to suck up that elusive web (including spider I'm afraid), I look up to see that the underside of the desk is VERY dry. Thirty seconds is all it takes, and I retract myself with the bright idea of oiling the desk.....at this point you should say to yourself - "STOP"
.....but I pull the desk out as far as it will go, cords allowing, with my foot. Holding the screen and my laptop in either hand I lie over the desk to place these two sensitive pieces of equipment onto the floor - on the far side.
Of course the cords are wound around the desk leg and the laptop won't reach the floor so I have to gently pull left to allow the plug to pop out....and voila I can go all the way down.
The laptop complains with melodious bleeping sounds, of too little battery and the 3G gets janked out in the process and falls to the floor from its prestik plug on the wall.
The desk has to be tipped over in a tiny space so out of the sliding door is the only option, but beacause my spring clean took on epic proportions there are kelims drying all over the patio.
No problem to move the kelims to make place for the desk...
Isn't the smell of oiled wood the most amazing thing?
