Pictures of Emm
[Who said that? Just testing.] The great Spring-clean is finally over. For the past ten days, Emma has been enjoying an orgy of washing, dusting, cleaning and polishing. Well, maybe “enjoying” is a bit strong, but I stand by “orgy”. Every cupboard and drawer has been emptied, its contents washed or dusted and returned in tidy fashion. Every piece of furniture polished, every curtain and cushion-cover washed, every square inch of floor scrubbed or hoovered. Nothing has been spared. It puts me in mind of my ninety-year old grandma, who went to the doctor with a strained back. “How did you do it?” he asked. “Climbing out from under the bed,” she replied. “Good god woman,” he spluttered. “What were you doing under the bed.” She was dusting the springs, as she did every Thursday. At least Emma can’t crawl under our bed - although it has to be moved so that she can hoover beneath it. This is not, by the way, how she dressed for the Spring-cleaning ritual. I can’t think why.
