Hello Everyone! Just something short and sweet because I am knackered. I have been doing some spring cleaning and I am gutting out the house. It is absolutely amazing how much stuff accumulates because we keep everything in the vain hope that one day it might come in useful. In my opinion, it never does because you always forget about it or you can’t find it! Chaos reigns…

I have to pull this face again because the day started thus:

The day began with Gnome trying to make “Secret Gnome Stuff” and he chucked a maddy when he couldn’t find his ¼ inch chisel. He was doing his “Hokey-Cokey” again with his left foot in and his right foot in and shaking it all about! I thought he was going to explode.

At this point, I need to point out an important house rule that we have. We can “ chuck a maddy” but the cardinal rule is, only one person at a time. That way, we don’t get into too much trouble with one offering kind support. So, it was his turn this time so I proposed to remedy the situation by buying a chisel.

So off we ran into town.

How mad is that?? By that time we reached town, Gnome had claimed back most of his faculties (although his hair was a bit boofy and his eyes were bulging somewhat) and was starting to speak a bit more coherently. We went into the Farm Store to buy the chisel; they only had a 3/8 inch chisel which Gnome promptly bought because I shot the Chinese woman look of “we came all the way into town…you better damn well buy it!”  The main bossie of the store hailed me and said that our Pet Soap was sold out and he placed an order with me. That was a bonus at least.

So, left to his own devices, Gnome made his secret stuff. He won’t tell me what it is. He thinks that it keeps the romance alive to have mystery between us!!  I am sure he will write a post on this one.

Other mystery Gnome stuff…some kind of mound with smelly fermented stuff and cardboard. Gnome won’t allow me near it…I will let you know once I figure it out.

Anyway, since we can’t find anything and we are literally tripping over buckets everywhere, I have decided to do a big clean up. I am chucking out lots of stuff to get some space around here! It feels somewhat liberating…
