…I was washing my dusters. Christmas makes me go a bit mental on the cleaning front. I’ve been down on my hands and knees washing my skirting boards and have even tackled that oft neglected rear of tap blind spot with a sprinkling of bicarbonate of soda and a squirt of lemon. Came up a treat. Carrying on the Biblical theme, I have also taken on the role of Good Samaritan, walking my neighbour’s dog, pulling another neighbour’s curtains twice daily to confuse burglars and even feeding the poor little sparrows with my left-over cheesy pasta bake. I am now quite au fait with dog shit and after a week of rather challenging curtain duties, have pinpointed the exact amount of ‘yank’ required to avoid pulling them off the rail completely. As to the sparrows, well, there aren’t any but I did get two really ugly crows fighting over a floret of broccoli.

Glad to hear you are cleaning behind your taps- I remember you ridiculing me when I mentioned that it was part and parcel of my cleaning regime
It is a bit anal but as I have Mr Berlin coming over the festive period, I feel duty bound to clean my crib thoroughly in a highly efficient Germanic stylie. You never know, he may want to inspect my hidden corners!
Yes Anna, Deutsche leute ( that’s Gernans to you) tend to be very thorough. Apparently they make very good sex partners. Have you got your toilet brush yet?
Talking of Germans and toilet Brushes we just watched Bruno…have you seen it yet, it’s also rather anal…Anna, you are good using bicarb and lemon juice, I just get the Calgonite out…
