desperanceHeh. They have just gone, the kids: full of curry too hot for them (tho' I had made it very mild: wimps they are, the children of today) and bizarrely promising to come back tomorrow.
They leave me with half a carpet (and an oddly half-stained floor beneath: somebody must've had a rug and stained around it, in the days before carpets went wall-to-wall), a house full of elevated dust and a living-room entirely choked with books. I can't get at the books that I'm reading, I can't watch TV; I'm not quite sure what to do with myself, to be honest. I might just read my friends page, have a bath and go to bed. And try to figure out what to feed them tomorrow, given that I won't have the head start that I got yesterday, and everything is going to be in chaos until evening. Evening at least. I'm not really counting on a relief from chaos till the weekend, to be honest. But that's okay, I bought into this. And the carpet, the vile '70s carpet is on its way to gone; and the floor is actually quite nice underneath, despite the particoloured staining. And I have a red tile hearth! Who knew?
