It’s a day of cleaning and tidying and throwing junk away. My wife is buzzing around the house like a frenetic wasp, doing the laundry, cleaning the bathroom, putting boxes in the loft, filling her car with junk to take to the tip. I feel that I’m in the way, and spend most of the time sitting quietly on the sofa in the lounge.
When my wife drives to the tip with her car loaded with rubbish, I leap into action, armed with the vacuum cleaner, and vacuum the house from top to bottom. My wife has brought a few bags and boxes downstairs for me to sort through, so I sort through those and create a heap of scrap paper to go into the recycling bin.
And…. relax!!
