Dust

I hate dust.

We've had builders in for a few weeks now.  I'm getting rather fed up of finding dust everywhere...  It was worst when we were having a new doorway put through to the kitchen. If they had said "Everything in the house will have half an inch of dust on it" we'd have been slightly more prepared.. but they didn't.  And the sheets they put down didn't even cover the stuff in the same room.  We'll be cleaning for months. ..

The end is in sight, however.  The worst is already over.  I might need a new vac after this though...

Dust Devil

Aside from the numerous benefits of owning a dog (companionship, early warning of postmen, unconditional love..) there are a few disadvantages.. (eaten post, always under your feet to trip you up..)

Today it was time to spring clean the bedroom. Whilst it's had it's regular tidy ups and hoovering, today I decided that the mountain of boxes, computer parts, discs and miscellaneous junk under the bed needed shifting. Here was the other doggy disadvantage. The thin layer of dust was joined by a positive snowdrift of dog hair. The Dyson did a sterling job on 95% of it, but it's been a struggle getting the last bits up. I swear the carpet is made of the same stuff they make Velcro from.

Now to fill up all the space I've made with boxes from elsewhere.. Tidying up is never ending..
