Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cáirde and welcome to my report. I’ll be brief or I imagine I will anyway because my mind is otherwise engaged. As I said recently I got a small County Council Grant for improvements in my heating and plumbing. Needless to say when you make a start the reason for starting in the first place seems to disappear into oblivion as you see more and more that has to be done. God knows it’s not the workers fault. Tradesmen today are experts at leaving everything neat and tidy in their wake meaning that it’s me and only me that is the culprit. People of my calibre rarely do a big clear up or clear out these days. In the past we had the Stations every six years or so, or maybe a family wedding or funeral , which gave us the excuse to go into every nook and cranny and get rid of stuff which we no longer wanted. T.G. for Thrift shops and the recycling unit and bins for St. V de Paul where we can off load some stuff. For me at any rate the Hot press is my weakest point. It’s there in the hall and so convenient to hang up my coat well maybe with a squeeze, because you have one of all the other colours already. I never wear a hat or cap, yet I found as many as eight of them in various shades and styles in my search after the workmen were done. On the floor its a lovely place to slip off the shoes and slip into something comfortable when you come in from town, sometimes bearing a new pair under my arm that I couldn’t resist on my day out. The high shelf bears evidence of times long past. Plastic bags of a half finished craft, that I so enthusiastically took on at some class many moons ago. Finding it now sends the mind back many years, as the mind is filled with the times and people who were with me when I took it on in the first place. How do socks lose one another? you’d be well pleased not to find the one when you know you can’t find the other. Because I was away for the couple of days while the work inside was going on I have only dealt with the hot press so far. And to tell you the truth I’m flayed out. But I’m determined to keep going until every shelf and press is done. It’s early for Spring Cleaning, but I feel that because I had to stick to time I’ll be all washed up by the time that others will only be starting. Now that will keep me going. You need a challenge.
