| Are we having fun yet? |
Just finished reading a rather sad, bittersweet book that Marianne of Let's Read recommended, My Wish List by Grégoire Delacourt a French writer. It's the story of Jocelyn and Jo who live in the French town of Arras; a quiet life, their 2 children are grown, he works in a factory and she runs a fabric store. Then Jocelyn wins the French lottery, €18,000,000 and it scares her, she hides the check while she thinks about what she should do. She makes lists, she worries and her worst worries come true. A bittersweet story, not very long, 163 pages long. It makes you think about what is really important in life.
Back's feeling better and I have one more room to vacuum. No rest for the wicked.
hahahahahaha DUST is everywhere.
ReplyDeleteTucson is very dusty one learns to live with it.
I don't have a lot of stuff laying around to clean. My floor is light, the two dark pieces of furniture are super easy to whip down. Two small rugs to vacuum. Easy Peasy ! Still do not like to clean though.
I would rather like to like with dust that mold.
cheers, parsnip
I hate cleaning blinds - so I don't very often.

I know the feeling, I love the look of my blinds but I do not enjoy cleaning them one bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the book, sounds interesting, if sad.
I knew as soon as I saw your title what you were talking about. :) The morning sun shines in my kitchen window and hits my black stove. I try to not look until the sun moves! And we breath in all those particles dancing around!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, since I live in such a sunny place. I notice every spot on every window and it drives me crazy. It's especially bad because it seems like the next day after I go and clean every window on the outside with a squeegee, then we have a dust storm and the windows are filthy again! Can't win. :)
ReplyDeleteI told the therapist, one of my goals of PT is to push things. Think vacuum cleaner. Actually, I want my back strong enough to vacuum so that I can not vacuum, but walk around town for an hour.
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognised that book but not the title, it's actually published under the title The List of My Desires over here:- http://jo-throughthekeyhole.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-list-of-my-desires.html
ReplyDeleteRats about the sunshine on the blinds. Hope your back is feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteMy first time visit ... I really love the painting on your blog header. Quite stunning.
Wishing you a happy day.
