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.

    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.

    When the sunsets in the afternoon the same thing happens to me dust everywhere, i reckon its pure evil sent to test us :-).

    And dusting, particularly in a house shared with cats and other dust catchers, is not a gratifying form of housework. Sigh

    Delores; perhaps we should avoid natural sunlight?

    Windsmoke; 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*

Words for Wednesday

Image
  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.

Sunday Selections #754

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

Charlotte's colour of the month for May is Gold : The colour of sunshine, daffodils, little yellow dandelions before they become puffballs, baby chicken and ducklings too are golden . the pan is prepared, the ingredients are measured and ready, look at those gloriously golden egg yolks, and the golden butter, let's mix and bake just out of the oven, a golden lemon ricotta cake time to take off the paper,  and see it ...
