Household chores

I spent all of yesterday cleaning and scrubbing my flat from top to bottom. I really can’t say that I enjoy cleaning and most of the time I try to avoid it. (A cleaning lady would be so nice…) But sometime in every blue moon or so I get the energy and clean like a mad woman. I clean out closets, cabinets and polish and dust everything in site. The feeling afterwards is very rewarding, but it will be a long, long time before I do it again.

Today I continued my household chores with laundry and ironing. Still being very hot outside (and in my flat) I actually ended up doing the ironing standing outside on my balcony in the shade with a very nice breeze. The people across the street probably thought that I had gone totally mad, but extreme weather calls for extreme solutions. Finished with ironing I continued my short stint as homemaker with sewing buttons. I had about six different buttons lying on my dresser and it was now or never, before I forgot which button went where.

To finish off my day I made a big pan of my favourite lasagne with cottage cheese and grilled veges. I had one big serving with some fresh Parmesan cheese on top as dinner before cutting what was left it into nice little squares, which was placed in the freezer for days when I don’t feel like cooking. And knowing myself I know that’s going to happened very soon. Sometimes I would like to have a chef along with that cleaning lady…
