2025 - What I did today

Now I know why I hate housework. Having got the new bed in it looks almost like a bedroom rather than a junk room (it won't last). Looking at curtains and venetian blinds, they had the crud of ages on them. Wash curtains - they're velveteen and are extremely old. I wasn't too hopeful they would survive a wash or even maybe come out like crushed velvet, but they're OK. We managed to get them washed, dried and rehung all in one day. Looked at all the tops of wardrobes and cupboards they needed washing down. All I wanted at the start of this escapade was to wipe some mould off a wall behind the bed, I wasn't intending to spring clean the whole room! I feel a bit like Michael Cain in The Italian Job saying 'You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off' after the bod had demolished the van.
