Greying flicks around a duster a bit......... plumps a cushion or two...... rakes out the ash from the stove, scrunches up a couple scraps of paper and lays some kindling atop.....stands on the sofa arm, has a reach around the top of the dresser for the 'emergency rations' biscuit tin... pops the tin on the table next to the clean mugs and fills the kettle up........
I'm just popping out for some milk.... will be back later......
