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*

Sunday Selections #757

 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. Beginning today with a few photos of my TV screen, on the news: In the far north, the APY Lands (I think, it was a while ago) the indigenous people held their own Grand Final football match: in the heat and the red dust much fun was had spectators as well as players it was lovely to see, quite a change from the city matches with over-crowded stands and all the cheering and booing that goes on. on another TV show: she really killed...

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...
