This is all rather disturbing :-( I hope none of you lot are suffering too badly from too much wet. I hope no one else dies of bad weather.
Today I did so much cleaning that blowing my nose left smuts on the handkerchief, and my fingers ache from clutching floorcloths. Neither of either has had more than a scattershot de-dirtification, yet my flat and the one my sister's just moved out of are now considerally freer of filth. Praise be to the gods who created cream cleaner!
