Cleaning frenzy again
Oct. 10th, 2022 07:12 pmAnd this time I was the crazy one. I needed to clean the raised toilet ring because it needs to be de-scaled regularly. So I took it off and saw that the actual toilet beneath it needed de-scaling, too. Since I had to scrub the toilet ring in the bath-tube, I had to scrub that thoroughly as well. And since I was there already, I scrubbed the sink and a good deal of the tiles, too. By the time our cleaning lady arrived I was practically breathless - and I couldn't blame anyone but my crazy self. *g*
Consequently, no cooking and no crafting was done today. Putting things back to their place took another hour or so, and after that it was leftovers and vegetating in front of the telly. Cleaning always has this effect on me. ;)
In any case, another (ex-)colleague realized I had birthday and gave me a call. It lasted a good 40 minutes, and we laughed a lot and talked about old times and kiddies we had both taught. Some of those kiddies have families on their own by now - it shows that we are getting old, even though we try to hide it.
As I said, no crafting today, but I've finally hunted down some promising templates for the counting page that is supposed to consist of 12 Christmassy cupcakes. Of course, for 12 cupcakes to fit onto the same page, they need to be really small, so I might not be able to use my nice and easy, ready-made felt numbers but will have to create much smaller ones myself. Gah, and I thought this would be an easy pattern! But what must be done must be done, there is no way around it.
