    I've just seen a weasel scurrying under the bird feeder.

    I've found my duster on a stick that had been lost for over a week. How do you lose a duster on a stick? It was trying to sneak down the back of the wardrobe. I caught it just in time. Not £700 but we must grab our cheerfulness and our dusters wherever we can find them.

    Maybe it was just trying to point out to you that there is need for some work to be done behind the wardrobe.😊

    Now there's an idea.  Robot duster on a stick - it seeks out dust without human intervention.

    Dusting behind the wardrobe??  If I can't see it, why should I spend valuable gardening time removing it?  And what's wrong with dust, anyway?  Extra insulation, I reckon.   :)

    Dusting behind wardrobes, bookcases, china cabinets etc only gets done here when I need to move one for house-moving, decorating or furniture shuffling purposes.

    RTBC?  OH is on his way home with all Possum's gear.  He can have a day off to flop tomorrow but then I need his body in the garden.  The weeds are enjoying this weather far too much and I can't drive his strimmer.

    In my defence, Yer Honour, I wasn't  dusting behind the wardrobe. I was dusting on top while standing on the bed. Naturally the phone rang so I left it forgot it and went out to do some gardening when the call had finished.

    there you are @Nanny Beach. You can wet it to wash ceilings or the roof of the car too if that's your thing. The wig comes off for washing . A useful thing!
