Housework, or should I say van work?

A grey overcast start to the day, and so we decided early on to let Jasper and Maya finish watching the free DVD of 'Kung Fu Panda 2' they had been given in McDonalds yesterday, and we would catch up on a few boring jobs, such as the regular sweeping up, washing up, sorting laundry and also more maintenance issues like refreshing the water supply, cleaning the wet room and emptying the toilet cassette. You can guess which jobs I opted for, and boy, does sweeping up take a long time! Without a vacuum cleaner, getting even the tiniest bit of carpet clean takes ages, especially when you've been to the beach and brought back fine white sand in great quantities!!!
With the weather slowly improving, i.e. grey clouds moving on, an outdoor lunch followed soon after a morning snack of fresh fruits, and then we completed the white washing, sorted the water issues and cleaned the wet room. I have also discovered a great way to clean the metal sink that we have in the kitchen area after accidentally spilling some washing powder in there!!! A quick scrub with a scourer and about a tea spoon of washing powder renders a very shiny sink indeed!!!
Now, in sunshine, we are heading off for a family bike ride as a reward for completing our chores! 
Hurrah!
