The Perfect Housewife

Sawdust is a real help, it distracts from the dust. Flowers as well, from the other end of the spectrum.

I am deeply pleased with the new kitchen counters, dark grey Fireslate, just like the counters in old Chem. labs. This morning I sprayed the violet Plugmolds matt black, heaven knows what I was thinking before, and a little bottle too, put flowers in it and am beside myself with satisfaction. It doesn't take much. I installed the new matt black tap myself, even drilled the hole, that was fun.

I now have five guests to lunch and one to dinner, so it is a good thing the table is set from the aborted dinner on Monday. I was forever chiding Stefan for putting coffee cups, his hat, equipment and everything short of his feet onto the cloth, so it is time to have it used.
