Wanted: A Cleaner

I’m now off work until Wednesday, thanks to Easter – a break which couldn’t come soon enough.

This morning was spent giving the flat a much needed spring clean – a boring, yet somewhat satisfying task once complete. I am pleased to report that during my clean, I did not find one spider. Hopefully the news of the previous deaths has filtered thorough the spider grapevine. Like British sailors in Iranian waters – these eight-legged foes are not welcome.

With the surfaces and carpet spotless, and the air filled with the smell of bleach, I enjoyed a lazy afternoon drinking coffee, listening to music and playing Fifa on the PlayStation. The weather was hot, very hot. Days like today make me feel envious of my neighbour downstairs with the garden flat. Still, even if I did have it, I doubt I would use it for fear of being spied upon by the flats above. I’m a little paranoid like that.
