I have been away helping my son shift into his new rented house. The rooms were left a mess and it took days for us to clean them. He could have waited for them to be cleaned but he already waited a month. I was quite surprised how well he had done. His pantry was neat and tidy and all of the kitchen plates, utensils etc as well. It took ages for me to get rid of the stickness from his whitegoods as they have had many shifts. I have the patience to do this which meant he could vaccum and mop the rest of the house. The first night he cooked hamburgers for tea (after mincing the meat beforehand) was not until afterwards that he remembered I had stopped eating cereals. It took us another day to sort out the garden to find somewhere to store his plants in pots where they would not blow over in the wind. He did a 4 year apprenticeship in horticulture and loves growing plants not the hard landscaping side. During the heat of the day we were able to go down the street and get the little bits and pieces that you don’t realise when starting out.
D & SIL got quite snitchy with me being in town and not letting them know so we had to go to tea and again sabatoge the diet. D doesn’t like my weight loss but as they are two hours away I just go with what they have and repair the weight increase when I get home. This means I have put on 2kgs for the week. (No diet or exercise for the week) Home now to the hotter weather but the inch and a half last week has freshened everything up which watering doesn’t do.
