After a rainy start to the day I was all set to go to the zoo until I realised there was still a steady drizzle. Not that bad if you're moving around but not fun if you're in one place working on your knees. We did have sun later in the day.
Instead I carried on with the spring cleaning and as it was relatively mild I was able to keep the outside door open. That helped to get rid of the fumes of the Brywax I used on the large pine cupboard. First everything came out to be and if necessary cleaned. Now that the house is finished and the nicest things on display I feel able to give other items to the the charity shop. No point in keeping them stored like a dragon sitting on its hoard of gold.
While the cupboard was empty I was able to move it away from the wall and clean the back of the cupboard and the wall behind.
I had the radio on while I worked and coincidentally the topic of the day was decluttering. That prompted me into going through all the cards I'd saved over the years. I've kept the ones from Pete but only kept the handmade cards from the boys. It's hard to get rid of that kind of sentimental stuff and yes I read through every card first. Luckily it's recycling day tomorrow so I won't be able to change my mind.
Off to Pilates in a bit to unwind those muscles.
