It was quite a treat to walk Rosie to the mountains without being knee deep in dust! Of course the rain had compacted it down. Because of the rain I decided I should really give the house a good clean. I washed all the floors and I just could not believe the amount of dirt in the water and I do brush the floors every day but it obviously gets everywhere.I also slipped on the wet when pulling the bed out and landed on my knees…..ouch! Bruises tomorrow no doubt.
I cleaned the pool, only to realise that it needed backwashing because of the dirt that the pool is collecting. I am always frugal with water and so backwashed only to realise it wasn’t clean and I had to do it all over again! The second time the hose split right in the middle.
Not one of my better days but at least I didn’t feel, for a day that I was chewing dust. Having said that the digging was going on most of the day. I had just finished eating dinner when Lena rang and asked if I wanted to go out for dinner with her and Margaretha. I declined, I just felt so tired, I couldn’t even be bothered to go with them for a drink. I had an early night and didn’t even watch any of the World Cup! As David and Kenny agreed the day before, it really does ‘get to you’ all the noise and dust. I really shouldn’t complain when Mal is slogging away in the UK.
