Clean

FINALLY, after several months of poor maintenance and two of total neglect due to Too Much Augustus, my house is once again in a sufficient state of cleanliness that I feel I could allow other people to enter it. Given that this morning it was still on 'Health Hazard - Keep Clear' status, this is a big achievement, and it has made me feel a great deal better about myself as a human being. Sadly, a few spiders were rendered homeless and / or underwent a vacuumy death during the process, but so it goes. It was a battle of wits in which only one of us could triumph.

Now, as my reward, I get to head over to Hebden Bridge for an evening of silly board- and card-games with miss_s_b, [twitter.com profile] A_C_McGregor, magister, [livejournal.com profile] matgb and quite likely some other Calder Valley types. A lovely end to my little post-Augustan holiday, which I'm very much looking forward to.

Maybe there is more in the phrase 'cleanliness is next to godliness' than I thought....

Hmm - if Augustus is the god in question, he could do a bit more to help around the house, is all I'm saying.

Ha :-)
Reminds me of the conversations I have with Mapp and Lucia - they never do a paws turn.
