Operation 'Top to Bottom'

I hope Digitaldaze checks in here on her way home so that she can be reassured that the above emergency house cleaning operation she assigned me this morning (our friend Dot arrives tomorrow) is well and truly underway!

I've been doing a mini-chucking out before tackling the outside spaces and windows armed with hose and brush creating satisfying currents and eddies to wash away the constantly falling dust, petals and leaves ...where it is vis a vis the satisfaction of doing the common stair, I'll have to think...one thing is for sure, I sweat buckets more here than in Edinburgh!
