shewhomustIt was an effort to tidy the house ahead of the party - to clear tables, and remove piles of books from chairs, and try to find homes for things so that they could be put away, and - well, all that and more. But there was a real sense of achievement when it was done. And when everyone had gone, and we were slumped in front of the television, durham_rambler looked around the room, and said how good it looked, and I agreed with him.
But it can't last. The things - the useful boxes, the unread magazines, the important papers - that I hid in the cellar, on top of the chest freezer, had to be moved so that I could get something out of the freezer. The notebook computer has returned to the kitchen chair where it spends most of its time, because the kitchen is where I mostly use it (where I am, in fact, using it now). I have re-erected the ironing board in front of the television.
Still, if we've done it once, we can do it again. If/when we have to.
