4th December 2017
Today was car cleaning day, and as there are no Polish people here I had to do it myself. That is not a slur on the Polish, it’s just I usually go to them and they do a great job in under fifteen minutes. Fortunately it was a pleasant day, not cold, and ideal for the task.
The lanes here are muddy with potholes and puddles, and after a couple of trips the car was disgusting. I borrowed a mop and bucket, and off I went. The memories came flooding back when car cleaning was a way of life, expecting my children to do it was a complete waste of time, unless it had a screen and went “beep!” they couldn’t relate to it. Ironically cars have far more computer power than their little Sinclair ZX spectrums.
The washing was so therapeutic I even cleaned my sister’s car, as we are both out tomorrow, I’ll be cleaning them again on Wednesday.
