The Old Girl has been up here recuperating for 5 days now - 3 weeks to go.
Normally she is in Auckland during the week and spending 3 day weekends at the house. For a month she will be spending all week a the house - with me!
Now this is good for company and essential for her post-operative recovery but it allows her to keep an eye on my housework practices. To date the result hasn't been favourable.
REPORT CARD
HOUSEWORK
1. Vacuuming.
Just moving the furniture around doesn't count.
If you change the bag it will have more suction.
Corners have to be done.
Still visible cobwebs. C minus.
2. Floor washing.
Too many streaks.
What were you using in the hot water?
The mop has to be cleaned before using. B minus
3. Toilets.
Really! Really? It looks like a student flat. Dunedin students!
Just using the toilet brush isn't good enough nor is just squirting in some toilet cleaner.
The bowls have to be scrubbed. FAIL D
4. Bathrooms general
See comments as per floor washing. B minus
5. Bath and shower cubicles.
See comments re toilet bowls. FAIL D
6. Kitchens.
We are supposed to cook and eat in here! Really!
Is there something wrong with your eyesight?
If this was a restaurant we'd be closed down. FAIL D
7. Outside porch at back and deck at front.
It's lucky that we've been having gales that blow all the leaves and dirt away.
That's all I'm saying. B minus
8. Window washing.
They don't look like they've been done since you got back from the UK. FAIL D
9. General observation.
Effort and aptitude is definitely lacking. Could Must do better in all areas.
Overall C Minus.
OK, only 3 weeks to go.

Which begs the question for maybe an answer in another post. What does Curmudgeon do all day?
Not bloody housekeeping that's for damn sure.
But yes, maybe a 'Day in the Life of a Curmudgeon' is a good idea for a post.
I could spin it out for an entire series much to Richard's chagrin.
Yes. Please do.Though we don't need detail about the toilet parts!
C-? B+? That sounds a bit like when The Curmudgeon was in 3P at St Patrick's College in 1966, though it is told that he did get on the board by 6 1/2 once or twice.
These days it's NCEA.
