20th September 2019
I went around the entire cottage with a toothbrush doing a final touch up before I left.
Swept the living room floor, finding more dirt even though I had cleaned it the night before.
I changed the bedding, then wasn’t sure if I should put the dark side up, or the light side. There were creases in the duvet cover that I was not happy with, did they look less obvious with the dark pattern or the light one? I was swapping pillows and covers around like a mad person, texting Louise for advice, as she is the expert.
Finally decided on dark side up, that contrasted nicely with the yellow cushions.
I made sure the shower was spotless, making sure there were no hairs in the plug hole. That is something that grosses me out, so I was on my hands and knees meticulously wiping everything down.
I flushed the toilet about ten times just to make sure it was free of anything, and shoved a load of Domestos in it for good measure.
I wrote a little note in the visitor book, and checked the pen worked okay, I was really nervous, but also excited that the guests would find it as cool as I do.
I drove to Bath to meet up with Rob for lunch.
We always go to Indian Temptation as they do a wonderful Masala Dosa, I could eat it everyday.
After that I headed down to Barrington to stay with Nicola and Colin.
Kelli had decided that she no longer wanted to use the petrol mower to cut the grass. The fumes were so bad that it made her feel sick, and left he clothes smelling like a mechanic.
She found a push mower on Marketplace for ten bucks, so off she went to buy it. I was never happy keeping cabs of petrol in the shed, the fumes that came off of them on hot days were overpowering, also when you ran out there was a three mile drive to get more. I was planning on getting an electric, or rechargeable one, but Kelli got in first. I guess both of us will have arms like Popeye the sailor man.
