I do put indoor plants in the bath for a good shower now and then. Great for getting the dust off and letting them have a good soak and drip. Good place to leave them when we go on hols too as they make their own little micro-climate and stay healthy. Big ones go in the shower.

Glad to see I’m not the only one lol! It absolutely is official! What a lovely day I’ve had! Sowed all sorts of seeds (covered windowsills in trays/pots = less dusting), prepped a container for pumpkins, watched my daughter sing in a little show, been to a certain Golden Arches fast food place (🤢 but saved making lunch 😉), watched the tadpoles testing out their tails and I’m going out for a few drinks and a game of pool with friends later. Happy days! 😍
Flinster, you've reminded me of the time I told a workmate how I planned to spend my first day of retirement: the morning in bed, the afternoon in the bath and the evening in front of the telly. She reminded me that I would be working my last shift on Christmas Eve, and asked in which of those three places I'd like my Christmas dinner! I'm glad you had such a lovely day.
It's rained most of the winter here, should have been the time to spring clean the house, but did I? No, well the basic minimum, I just moaned that I couldn't do gardening because it was raining.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Busy-Lizzie that’s exactly what I did! I did paint the stairs and a few walls, but that just added to the dust lol! Josusa I can’t stop thinking about Christmas dinner in the bath lol!
Rain, rain, rain! Still, I did go out and do some pond stuff and put in an extra wire for the climbers etc. Eventually I had to come in and felt rather depressed that I would feel forced to do some mountain climbing with my iron, but then I remembered I had a seed order to put in....😚

Gardening first, middle and last. Leave gardening and you are submerged in undergrowth within a matter of weeks.
Housework, what is that? Once there is a layer of dust things do not look much different, no matter how long it is left.
