A Little Spring Cleaning

Got told the other day that I look very tanned. Immediately became paranoid and assumed was probably halfway to melanoma. Is not like when someone thinks you are too thin - and you are delighted - being too tanned DownUnder is equal to being suicidal, old-fashioned, uncaring, unhealthy and so on.

May as well give up right now, open a bottle of wine and light up a ciggie?

No. Anyway - therefore decided it best to avoid sun for a few days. Naturally, weather is displaying clear blue sky, sun and 35 degrees.

Solution? Spring-cleaning.

Yes, realise is middle of summer. But better late than never.

Here is some evidence of what I consider step one of a proper house-clean: Throw out everything that can be moved in order to clear space and gain easy access for cleaning:

(that is the bird in the middle - he enjoys being outdoors, also hates vacuum cleaner)

Step two: clean. Step three: watch Dr Phil, feel exhausted thanks to heat, and wonder why you just dumped entire contents of house outside.
