Mucky mirrors and the spectre of Fifa 14 ...

A beautiful day means a pleasant walk to and from the library for me. In summary of my morning in the library, it was “all quiet on the IT front”, but at least it meant I had a chance to do the weekend’s crossword. The folk’s house still looks like a bomb has hit it, as the new kitchen construction continues, but at least the electrician has identified and rectified what caused Tuesday’s electricity failure.

I spend the afternoon cleaning, ironing and vacuuming. As a house husband of some standing this is becoming a little like second nature to me. The biggest challenges I have, are the built-in mirrored wardrobes we all have in our bedrooms. To be honest it’s the girls that cause the problem. Creams and spray marks, added to seemingly hundreds of finger prints mean I spend a disproportionate amount of time polishing mirrors. How is it the youngest has no marks on his, but the eldest and Mrs P make a right mess of theirs?  

The youngest as usual spends time on the computer and his Xbox this evening. In fact he runs both at the same time. It must be some sort of teenage multi-tasking. He logs off early this evening but I fear this may be the calm before the storm. Fifa 14 is launched tomorrow, and he has pre-ordered his copy, along with his mates. This means we may see little of him for the next week or two. Depending on levels of homework, which always takes priority, we may need to ration his time online, which I can see, being very unpopular.

Yours keeping it clean.
