Nothing to do with me, honest.

That was not a pleasant task I undertook whilst watching TV this evening. Removing curtain hooks from some revoltingly dirty curtains, prior to cleaning them, which will be tomorrow. Whilst I have been indulging in some shockingly slovenly customs for a day or so, (normal service will be resumed next week) I hasten to add that these curtains are not from my house, but from a small chapel I find myself charged with the domestic care of. I took advantage of the workmen being there to get the curtains down for the purposes of cleaning them.

It meant I felt it was my duty to have a long, hot relaxing bubble bath at the point at which my fingers could cope no more with the removal of the curtain hooks. I can't remember when I last turned the bath water that murky colour. It was pretty spectacular, since I'd already had one bath this morning.

Yesterday, I could have done without the organ deciding to have a hissy fit on me in between a difficult announcement made before the start of the service, and me launching into the Joyful and Festal Anthem!! Rumours I'd been chewing gum and gummed up the works are completely unfounded - I've not chewn gum since I was allowed to have it, on the grounds I was old enough not to swallow it.

And, if it gets seriously cold overnight in the UK, I do apologise. I washed my dressing gown, and my slobbing around the house fleece today.
