I got back from the garden centre late this afternoon to be greeted by OH telling me he'd cleaned the kitchen floor. Well, after over 56 years of marriage I know that cheeky little boy smile of his means there's more to come!
"Yes", he said, "well, I've cleaned half of the kitchen floor. Look!" as he waved his hand down towards the back door, where the door mat was clearly half dry and half wet.
That end of the kitchen floor was definitely cleaner than the other end.
So as he hastily made me a cup of tea he explained. As I mentioned elsewhere we've got a blocked kitchen sink, which is proving difficult to clear because of the bends in the outlet pipe. OH and our lovely neighbour J have been working on it but still can't reach the blockage. They decided on a chemical attack overnight, and OH was running water down the sink to see how things were going. Then he remembered he wanted to pop across the road with a bottle of wine to another kind neighbour who had given him a lift to the hospital last Thursday. OH had a 10 minute or so chat with those neighbours and got back into the kitchen to find the floor with about an inch of water. He had, of course, forgotten to turn the tap off, and the sink was clearly still blocked!
Half the floor is embarrassingly cleaner than the other half, so I think it's only fair that he cleans the rest of it as well!
