DEAR SPOOK, I have had to draw upon Mel's selection again, as it rained all day today. There is a cascade of water pouring off the roof all around the house. Once the last of the leaves are off the trees, I will borrow Frenchies ladder and do my duty with the gutters.
Cleaning hasn't got any easier since I last did it. Myself and my Polish leader cleaned 18 rooms today + the bar and hallways. There is no Mary Hawea to bring me coffee when I am most needing it and the cup of the day was drank at 4pm. I will become used to being called 'Morrrrag Darleenk', because I think she probably has far worse names up her sleeve when things don't go well. I got away with a few missed shampoos and soaps today, but I may not be so lucky tomorrow. Credit to her, she works incredibly hard!
I knew I was coming home to a messy house as things have gone down hill a little with the touring around the country. When I arrived home, soaked more from the cascade at the doorway than the rain, I found Meg and Isla had scrubbed the house. Meg had got bored but not Isla, who had just mopped the floor and was drying and putting away dishes. Meg made me the coffee (brave girl) and I sat in our lovely house and let the blood move away from my feet. What wonderful girls. There were 3 boys upstairs in a cupboard, whom Isla had fed and watered earlier.
They are in the cupboard as Meg and Finn decided that the big cupboard outside our room would make a great games room. We have a 4 bedroomed house, and they choose to sit in a cupboard. This has not helped the general chaos of the household. I will give them a little more time and then I will need to reclaim it.
The 2nd day lasagne was fine. Well, Meg and Finn knew better than to complain, but Grieg was a little dubious. Perhaps the maturing flavours of the cauliflower and brocolli were a little strong for his taste
Another day of hoovering tomorrow. It was a challenge to change back from Lux-ing.
I did learn how to say 'one' and 'ouch' in Polish, so that's good.
