well I've gone and done it - cleaned my bedroom - was unsure whether to vacuum or mow the bedroom carpet - the dust on the furniture was just like snow - all cleared up now :-D

As Quentin Crisp said

"After the third year, the dust doesn't get any worse."

Trouble is with these lovely sunny days, they show up the dust. Never mind, just ignore it and enjoy the outdoors!
It will still be there tomorrow. :-(

I have spent most of the day catching up with household chores. I picked up a book, and came across this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dust if you must.
But wouldn't it be better
to paint a picture, or write a letter,
bake a cake, or plant a seed.
Ponder the difference between want and need.

Dust if you must.
But there is not much time,
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.

Dust if you must.
But the world's out there
with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come round again.

Dust if you must.
But bear in mind,
old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, and go you must,
you, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember, a house becomes a home...
when you can write "I love you" on the furniture.
