Depends on the colour of the dust, doesn't it? ;-) Ours has a reddish tint--very apparent on almost any surface. :-\<br /><br />If you have some energy to spare, please send it in this direction. Thankfully, I clean as I go, but still need to "clean the corners," as my mother used to say, about every two months. When did weekends become so short? Even the four-day weekend seemed too short this year!<br /><br />Love that Herbie was ready to assist your SO with tidying his tool collection. :-)Tajanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-4005942447402585582018-11-27T15:28:56.556+00:002018-11-27T15:28:56.556+00:00We are just back from a long walk, the rain finall...We are just back from a long walk, the rain finally blew over and I pounced.

"Dust colored paint"! now that is something I could use too. Where does all the dust come from?? I plan on pulling out some boxes of Christmas stuff today too. Around here, some folks had their Christmas decorations out before Thanksgiving.

Its funny how we all do the big clean before Christmas isn't it. D always asks if the Queen is likely to pop in for a cup of tea and scone en route to Sandringham during this momentous occasion of if you don't move quick enough she'll give you a quick dusting too. Our particular event will commence this weekend with hopefully the tree up by the end of it but as the chimney is being swept today I shall await and see what chaos is around when I get home first. <br /><br />MitziLazy Days & Sundayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981937294479619947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-90023958913387327922018-11-26T22:47:31.367+00:002018-11-26T22:47:31.367+00:00I need to ask what is "the lurgy"?
