decorating tip of the year
Raising the blinds fully on a sunny afternoon really highlights the dust on the TV screen.
Every. Single. Speck.
Just pops right out at you.

dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
When you look into a beam of sunlight and see all the dust and hairs etc floating in the air it makes you wonder how we manage to get enough oxygen into our lungs. It just doesn't seem to matter how often or how thoroughly you clean. It's still there.
ReplyDeleteWhen the sunsets in the afternoon the same thing happens to me dust everywhere, i reckon its pure evil sent to test us :-).
ReplyDeleteAnd dusting, particularly in a house shared with cats and other dust catchers, is not a gratifying form of housework. Sigh
ReplyDeleteLMAO.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes it does.
Delores; perhaps we should avoid natural sunlight?
ReplyDeleteWindsmoke; you're right, dust is evil.
EC; I try to avoid dusting, but maybe I should at least clean the TV screen now and again.
Kelley; glad to hear you laughing. :)
Can't believe I read this today. I have just flopped down on the couch having spent ALL morning getting rid of the dust. When I was making my daughter's bunk bed this morning (because she left in a hurry and forgot today) I saw the dust on top of her cupboards. Of course cleaning one cupboard turned into cleaning the tops of all of them and then going on a cleaning rampage throughout the house. The irony is I will have to do it again in a week won't I? *sigh*
