Fall
has now descended upon us, yet the fairly-mild weather has allowed
much to happen in the yard and house. Or at least it would have done
had I not fallen into a spot of being unwell with infections and flu.
My
friend gave me a lift to the tip, clearing the junk from the side of
the house in mid-September and I have felt full of energy for several
days. Having lived so many years in Australia, it feels like spring
cleaning season to me - so that is why my energy became actions
indoors. The tip-trip also removed a few items from the pink n white
room, allowing me to 'begin' to clear and clean. From the following
rather poor lighted video, I think you will see that I have quite a
job on my hands, though.
I
began by sweeping all uninhabited cobwebs from the ceiling. Alas,
many still had spiders dwelling in them and had to be left for now.
Next, I wiped over the socket, tubing, heater, and part of the door.
This made a slight difference in appearance and a great difference in
smell to the room. Then, I shook out the two linoleum mats - alas
this had little effect, as they had stains and dried mud stuck on
them. Finally, I swept the floor...
It
doesn't look that much better. The next day, I carried part-pots and
unused pots of paint to the shed, shook out the rug, and re-swept -
but it still does not look much better.
One
area I have tidied up for fall is the entryway near the front door.
This has been painted and cleaned before and now I have added a
tee-light burner to the sill. It is really a Christmas decoration, so
will be replaced eventually - possibly by an aromatheraphy oil
burner.
I
was hoping to buy a pasta-dish to add to my collection of
kitchenware. Today, at the store, I spotted one. Right shape, color,
size... but alas, 'made in China' adorned the base - so it went back
onto the shelf.
