I have a Dream......

That we will win the Lottery and I can have a cleaner to do the house all over!! There is a shelf in the kitchen tat we keep knick knacks on and we spent the morning cleaning it. VT did the shelf and the window and I did all the plant vases glass thingies and other bits and pieces. he also redid the grouting on the tiling so it looks lovely again. I find cleaning very boring, but it does look nice when it is done. Funny thing is when we go away on holiday, we always clean up before we go, vacuum everywhere,do the kitchen and the bathroom and the floors. Don't know why it's just something we do. Maybe it is the equivalent of going out with clean underwear on..drummed into us by out parents.
Nice relaxing afternoon, reading a book in the bath to the light of my candles and one little chocolate bar. Just a nice treat.
Next door's are off to Rome tomorrow, lucky things, I went to Rome Florence and Venice in 1970 when I started teaching and it cost us £35! Saw everything it was a great trip! Never forgotten it really. Three coins in a fountain and all that, and the Cistine Chapel, where you all walked round with your neck cricked looking at the ceiling.
Last night we had.. Quorn escalope, carrots beans and sweetcorn, and a hollandaise sauce.
Tonight we are having:
Macaroni Cheese from M&S
tenderstem broccoli
Maybe a slice of garlic bread.
