Ladies like Mrs Brocket and her ilk could consider domesticity as a gentle art when they were surrounded by domestic servants who were all dealing with the hard graft it takes to run their employers' residences well hidden from view!Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-78440150755271551022021-09-29T07:57:39.192+01:002021-09-29T07:57:39.192+01:00All those appliances must complicate life.

You certainly had a busy day, yesterday! :D You had a case of what I call the "But, first" - need to make bread, but, first, must fine the yeast and label all the jars; need to make soup, but, first, have to make hot drinks for the workmen. Then, by the time I deal with all the "but, first"s, there is hardly any time or energy to do what I had wanted to do in the first place! :D Hope today will be a day of more gentle domesticity. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-76341712097224735172021-09-28T17:56:04.846+01:002021-09-28T17:56:04.846+01:00Petrol purchased this morning, thankyou.
