Clean

[strange_complex]

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, A_C_McGregor, magister, 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.

Brownies have just come out of the oven to cool, not sure I got the balance of flavours right, naturally, but that's what you get for making recipes up as you go along.

It's strange how liberating having a clean/tidy living space can be, I need to resort my desk area and catch up witha few things, which'll be easier next week when school restarts.

Yay for you! It is lovely to feel as if you are in charge of your space, so I can only imagine how great it must feel after a prolonged period of Roman emperor-ing :)

I've been slowly clawing back some cleanliness and presentability in my house since I got back. I'm finding it hard going, but still satisfying and a relief to get stuff done. It is a nice feeling. And I'm glad you get such a nice reward too!

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