Cleaning the Bathroom

So I decided today that the ideal study break would be housework. It's a change of scene, change in activity from sitting at a desk to actually doing something, and it gets the housework out of the way. I was inspired by Angi's procrastinatory cleaning of the kitchen benches last night. And after taking out the garbage and washing up the lunch dishes, I thought I would start with the bathroom.

I had noticed that our transparent plastic shower doors had become less transparent and more encrusted with soap scum, and the bathtub was looking slightly grey. So I started there. Now it's so clean! Or, pretty clean, that soap is hard to get off... especially when you're trying to clean shower doors that move around while you clean them. This study break was meant to be me cleaning the bench, sink and mirror, but I got distracted by blogs... so next time... but that is my favourite part of cleaning the bathroom. So rewarding, maximum effect for minimum effort, wiping off the dust and cleaning the mirror. I think it's probably the best part of cleaning the house in general. Of course, the worst part of cleaning the bathroom is cleaning the toilet and mopping the floor, but I'll leave that till tomorrow... tomorrow floor mopping in general I think.

Angi is home from her exam and says hello, she seems to be under the misconception that you are all trapped in the computer... but she means well. [hello everyone: I have momentarily hijacked Cat's post, hopefully she won't notice. Hellllloooo! Maybe should cut down sugar intake?-A]

So remember, on study breaks, cleaning is good. Also walking. Now back to studying...

Well, I live with 2 people called Felix and Cat. Which is good enough, in and of itself. Three people is really too little for a decent acronym.

Prospective housemates are called Emma and Tim, though, so that'd be FACE or FACT.

Everyone tend to call our house Lilyfield, though, I've noticed. We are the soul of the suburb. (Cat would like meto add the caveat, for the benefit of ptential stalkers, that tyhis name is ironic, since our house is in Mt Druitt.)

(silly old Cat)

Alternately, there's a sign on our house that reads Emohruo. But that, in all fairness, is a sucky name. Not y'all's home anyway. So Lilyfield, by and large, or Jack, which can be the honourary acronym. I hereby declare Felix Jess.

well i'm confused now, I thought the house was in Blacktown, not Mt. Druitt.

Hehehe, or the potential CAFE or yes, FACT.

Yes we do call the house Lilyfield, perhaps we should stick a sign outside the house?

Would certainly like to live in a CAFE. If nothing else, Pun and Alicia would visit us often, if our coffee was good and our cakes abundant, respectively.
