Moving on

Cherryfudge

I am back from the loft, sufficiently filthy to have to wash my hands three or four times, shampoo my hair and have an early bath. There's a great deal of dust and debris up there from the old roof, and that will continue till every single thing has been taken out or at least moved around and cleaned off. This will take a very long time, though I now have a path through the middle and have dusted and swept around some boxes of clothes (thankfully sealed). Next time I need to take a mask.

A lot of time was spent on hands and knees with a dust pan and brush, then investigating some very random collections of things in bags that are, in some cases, coming to bits. I've brought a few down for sorting and disposal, but I also found my summer dresses - in a sturdy bag with a zip so they should be okay to wear.

There was a nice pair of jeans in a size 8, which I thought must be DD's but she says not so they will go on V1nted, along with a number of other bits and pieces as we need less and I don't have much listed at present. There's also a very snuggly lounge fleece and an embroidered tee shirt to list. What I failed to find was the tower fan, though I know I saw it not that long ago and it would have been handy to have in the predicted heatwave from midweek onwards.

One handy surprise was the ice cream maker Mum gave me years ago, still boxed! I will have to check it works - the poor thing was never used as I hadn't freezer space for the inner dish, but I think that dish is actually smaller than the one I bought a while back so I can offer the larger one to family or sell or donate it.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, there's a lot of laundry to do as I was too tired on Saturday.
