Spring cleaning in the summer!!

 It is swelteringly hot here and we're keeping cool inside with the A/C at 18C. We bought this portable unit, 3 years ago and wondered if perhaps we had spent our money without thought, but we've really appreciated it in all this heat. I'm really appreciating it. happily watching the tennis, which I love. Our outside weather station says 29.4C and that's on the northside of our bungalow, round the side. On our west facing back, our thermometer is saying 32C!!

Dh has been busy painting our little pantry!! It is on the north side of our bungalow so cool in there. It measure about 4ft x 4ft and as we've been here 4 years it had been scuffed by tins, broom handles and the shelves we'd put in there, so the cream walls looked like they needed a freshen up.  He emptied it over the weekend and we found tins and packets well out of date! Foods we fancied, but never got round to eating, so I expect that would have been me!

Anyway in all this heat my lovely husband having decided it'd do it over the weekend and beginning of this week, he's carried on regardless of the heat! It seemed washing it was not really worth it, so as the paint was there in the garage, Dh decided to paint it.. he wouldn't let me take a photograph of him togged up to paint, because he had on an old shower cap to do the ceiling!! 

Tomorrow I am going to sort out the spice drawer and then the drawer with the kitchen bags, papers and cake bits like the rolling pin.

So then we need to do a deep clean in the cupboards and the under sink especially..        The window cleaner has been today so that means we should do insides too? 

What an exciting week we'll have!!
