The kitchen…
Nightmare!
So many things.
It takes a great many paraphernalia to make
baked beans on burnt toast.
The living room…
Full of unread books I don’t trust.
They lead exciting lives.
I swear, they have parties late at night, out of spite!
The hearts…
Hoarders, greedy.
Could do with a rummage,
spot of Swedish death cleaning.
I’m afraid, Marie Kondo won’t do.
‘Does this spark joy?’ – the wrong question.
Sell? Donate? Recycle? Chuck the lot in the bin?
I know… Postpone.
Good things come to those who wait.
Spring cleaning?
Perhaps in June.
Or, we could build an extension.

Bane of my life! I’m a natural procrastinator… That’s why I force myself to write a daily blog. Can’t put that off until tomorrow. When it comes to cleaning, though, well. That can be postponed. Like Scarlett O’Hara said: Tomorrow is another day…

I find the cleaning can wait.. There is always something far more important to be done. Like drinking a cup of tea. Very important indeed.

And perhaps a piece of cake to go with my cuppa? Sorry, Sunra, for replying so late, I must have missed your comment. I’m still waiting for my spring cleaning mojo to make a magical appearance… ah well, better luck next year…
