housework day

You know it's time to make a token effort with the housework when your neighbour calls in unexpectedly and you airily wave a hand in the direction of the overflowing dining room table and the craft books falling off the chairs and you say 'excuse the mess'

and she, just as airily says, 'that's OK, I'm used to it, it's ALWAYS LIKE THIS'

and the truth is, she's right, it is.....

I'll leave you with a sprig off my friends firewheel tree while I go put some things away ....
