For once in my life I’ve got nowt to talk abowt… {Silence}
Oh, but there is one thing, I’ve done a spring clean, I said I’ve done a SPRING CLEAN…!!!! Yes this boat is gleaming, the sun might be streaming through the windows, but there’s not a fluff ball tumbleweed to be seen… And there were no minor injuries incurred or general cock ups to report, which makes a change…
It’s dead boring doing a list of how many dusters were used, which products were sprayed, listing what’s been cleansed & just how much of those products get lodged up your nasal passages…
I call it boat cleansing which is a variation on “house cleansing.”
House cleansing came first & was all about getting shut of clutter, general rubbish, countless stuff saved for JIC, & dumping stuff at charity shops before we moved onto the boat full time. Tip for house cleansing before moving on to a boat: Take all your sentimental family stuff with you, & all your old shiny paper photographs. Keep those things FOREVER. Anything else can always be replaced…
Boat cleansing on the other hand is all about reaching for the Hilda Ogden headscarf & pinny, dusters, pledge, window cleaner, Flash bathroom etc. & getting down to business. There’s a bit more ground to cover on a widebeam, so it’s best to work through room by room, then check through (room by room) again to discover what’s got forgot. There’s always something that’s got forgot…
Well, we were supposed to be having visitors round this aft, friends from our other marina, but they can’t make it. Note the timing of the Spring clean? Ah well I suppose it’s done now…
Did I say I had nowt to talk abowt…?
And discussing boat cleansing really IS ultra boring… Yawn :-O
