RE: TRUTH OR DARE #244 - Have you Done or Begun your Spring Cleaning ?
well ...
I think it's a bit of a strange concept ... if i don't keep at it on the daily it creeps up. I let it slide for just one day and it's like a pack of dust devils came by. I'm always amazed at how many cups and plates i succeed in scattering over the house in less than 48 hours if i dont follow up on it.
I think the tradition has more to do with the psyche really. I think it's more about un-cluttering your life (like family guy) than your house, a bit closer to a new years-resolution you actually act out with an added practical benefit so i guess yea because but i guess no because the garden is not really my favourite domain.
Makes me wonder, according to tradition, are gardens part of it ?
because they're even more relentless during springtime than the inside of the house is ...
Who dunnit ? For lack of money to invest as you say the gnomes are on vacation ... and its not my house so, when they're here i help , otherwise it's me ... lived alone or together enough to know which side of the broom goes what way, i left first time when i was 21 after all ...
with a coffee maker a fridge and two inflatable matresses ... i dont see me doing that right now lol
c la vie , as they probably say in some parts of canada as well but i still refuse to be fatalist about it ...
been too long, im trying my best to keep my presence on i know ive been quite absent if not a-social in the last months ... take care !!!
well somebody has to do it :)
I think you hinted at it a few times before but you were a roadworker before whatever it is you do now ?
It's one of those things here , like, complaining about "foreigners" taking all the jobs but in fact, and you do see most of them are , although they're very likely born in belgium, ethnically originating from somewhere else like, probably 2nd 3d o r 4th generation. Same thing for delivery. Almost all postnl and tnt would be. But for some reason i do get the impression they're the only ones still applying ...
Strange concepts ... something i never did although i did spend some time in outdoor jobs like laying driveways and cleaning big greenhouses with diluted acid spray (that was fun lol, dragging a 100 or 150m cable with water in it under high pressure sometimes 7m up a ladder to stand in a small gutter in the middle of those roofs with no safety harness spraying diluted fluor-acid ... the trick is that it like bites off a micro-layer so if you rinse it immediately you get this showroom-shine on the windows and the lumen they get for their (mostly tomatoes) vegetables increases -> bigger yield (in theory))
especially fun when the wind turns in your face and you stand a few metres high static in minus 5 celcius ... good times. But standing kneedeep in the mud laying roads in winter is probably just as much of a party ...
There's various reasons why i'm slightly de-motivated and on top of that no one really looks for 46 year old guys when they're hiring ... life from the Hellgium-side :p
