Dusty Miller

Well not really but its a title! Happy new Year to you all. Normal business has been resumed at the house of the peasant. I am now cleaning off wooden beams in the roof so that i can varnish them to make them look more attractive. Trouble is they haven't been cleaned in well over 100 years so you can imagine the mess. There is wood dust everywhere, even if you tape up doorways and seal them with polythene sheeting it still manages to find its way in. When I have finished for the day I am covered, it gets right inside your clothes so I have to undress almost outside, shake out the clothes then walk across the hallway to the shower. Now there's a sight that would frighten away burglars!!

So, off we go again, funny costume back on, overalls,hat, mask, goggles & gloves to once again venture into the dust cloud.......
