I really liked this Deborah. I get a feeling you are becoming all warm and fuzzy since your recent birthday celebration! Looking forward to the story of the two staircases!!

We’re doing some refurbishment too, Deborah, and this piece really resonated with me! I had quite a moment when I was mid flow in a Teams meeting and neither the plasterer nor my husband could find the mop and needed my essential and immediate input (which I simply couldn’t give!). I’ve had some hilarious conversations with my mum and girlfriends on how to handle such situations in the future!!

Great piece!

Thank you Cecilia! I like that you are the custodian of the mop and no one else knew where it was! There is a challenge to working from home and getting work done in the home at the same time!

We have had a painter in this week - but he didn't want a cup of tea and he didn't sing but he brought his own radio with him so he could listen to music while he worked. And I too appreciate those magical moments of connection.

Thank you Pauline. Funny our painters brought a radio too! Hope your house returning to normal after the painting...

I like this Deborah. Especially when the 'Da' asks your husband to make him a cup of tea before the important 'fireside chat'!
