My 2 granddaughters and their cousin were playing hide and seek in my house. One way to get the floorboards under the beds dusted but just a bit embarrassed when their mums both laughed.
Sad that preventing an uplift which could have a really beneficial effect to those pensioners on low incomes is viewed by some as a reason to be cheerful.
What's the point of s duster that doesn't hold dust! Still feeling cheerful. Just been to my local nursery (,itsd next door to George Orwell's Animal Farm) Got a Fatsia, Spider Web,white astilbe,for my shadey Sissinghurst border. A bright pink Japanese Anemone,and electric blue germanium,for the dry shade,hubby is painting outside of bungalow
Granny's cornice brush. It's missing a number of clumps of hair (could it be horsehair? Not sure.) - perhaps not surprising given its age, which must be at least 100, I should think...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Am I a Philistine here? I don't use dusters. I never understood what they did as it seemed to me they (I/he/she/it/they) just shoved the dust off the object and onto the floor or other objects. So I got a couple of attachments for the new hoover (other vacuums are available) that 'do' the dusting (a bit like the Disney (...a lot of men smoke but Walt Disney...) Sorcerer's Apprentice) - I just turn the hoover on and the head miraculously zooms over the surfaces, sucking up the dust. Blinking marvleyous.
Dusters waste of time. Okay if you've got fingers across the picture frame visitors,but as @steveTu says they just move the dust from one location to another. Bucket of hot soapy water and a damp cloth works for me wipe-rinse wipe-rinse wipe rinse wipe-rinse...
