*Bored* of work now. Want to go home (well, technically, want to go to St P, but whatever. Want to be not-here, is the point).

You can tell it must be spring, as I am getting spring-cleaning urges. Seriously - around this time of year, I start wanting to tidy everything up, & clean things, & possibly even throw things away. Last year this coincided quite neatly with moving house, so I got quite a bit chucked out then. Last night I managed to drastically tidy up the space by the sink in the bedroom, though doubtless it will become chaotic again unless I tidy up everything else in the area as well. Next weekend, I reckon.

Maybe it's to do with the weather lifting - somehow, the longer the days get, and the brighter it gets, the *bigger* the world feels. And then I want the house to feel bigger as well, which means that I need to get rid of accumulated junk. Happily, also, summer means that the house *does* get bigger, as it can spread into the garden. I love the lovely garden. I swear one of the raspberry plants I planted out yesterday grew a good inch more of shoot over yesterday afternoon.

Ooh look, I can go home soon.

Come round to our house....

On second thoughts, don't. Some of that stuff we actually want to keep!

man i am getting the cleaning urge like never before. i even SCRUBBED the kitchen floor the other day (well OK we were having a house inpection but i keep going in the kitchen and just LOOKING at the floor, it's so shiny!)

the only prob is that Aubrey has lots of STUFF which he wants to keep (mainly 7"s which are a bugger to store i must sa) in boxes which just makes the place look cramped and rubbish. never mind; *my* stuff is due for a heyouge overhaul. the Age Concern shop down the road will love me!

when i say SCRUBBED i mean with a proper scrubbing brush and everything. i was pretending to be a Victorian washerwoman scrubbing the steps of a Stately Home while i was doing it! (n.b. i had had some GIN).

I bludgeoned my plastic bag mountain into submission last night; I think that's about as far as my spring clean urges go.
