The strange, deserted island
The three photos we could not download at the last posting are now attached.
This posting, however, tries to give an idea of everyday life in the apartment. Because it is very hot , we have divided tasks up equally. Pat does the washing, ironing, floor sweeping, floor washing, cooking, bed- making and general tidying up. I do the washing up (viz, photo). As a result of this totally fair division of labour, I am now healthy and almost free of any chest pain whilst Pat has lost half a stone, In an unprecedented show of revolutionary zeal, Pat now proposes that I take over the floor sweeping! As this might seem too great a change of tasks in one go, I suggested that we put the move to the vote of our blog watchers so that we might gauge the mood of those who know us well (and get me used to the idea!)
Of course what I omitted to mention was that Pat also takes the photos. We had another amazing storm which, as it cleared, left a spectacular sunset with colours like an Odilon Redon painting.

Ray - now you're into your travels, give Pat a break and clean those floors!
Pat come home ! They are only after Ray anyway.
dad should floor sweep, make beds and wash up. teach him to iron after all these years? good luck, most men have 2 left hands when it comes to that old chestnut. mum find something else to distract you from housework this is a time for change, don't let the side down! x
Ray - you should have asked for replies from men only if you didn't want us to vote for you to carry out more household chores!
This should be a holiday for you too Pat. Can the weather really be too hot? I'm freezing here today with a huge wind-chill factor!
Pat, Get that washing up done and leave poor Ray alone. Ted
Have you both considered just leaving it all behind - the floors, the dishes, the dusting - and moving on? Get a new place.
Quentin Crisp asserted that dust didn't get any worse after two years. You won't be around this place for anything like that.
