Look, I’m sorry I have to show you this but I deliberately left it blurry so you would not have to confront its ugliness.
No, it’s not a mouse or rat that the cat I haven’t got killed.
It’s an ugly mass of dust particles that we call ‘fluff’ in this neck of the woods.
It’s what the cleaner left in the bedroom wardrobe after I had paid him sixty bucks for doing ‘such a superb job’ [my words]
It was like the shower scene in ‘Psycho’ for me where instead of being confronted with a blade I’m confronted with a rat-sized piece of woolly fluff.
I almost fell backwards and yes I did utter the blanked out word above and I photographed the evidence straight away.
I just had to tell you about it and I feel better already.
Get thee to a rubbish bin, I said, and to its credit, it hopped in the one provided.
The funny thing is, the rest of the house is spick and span. So how did he miss this?!
and btw I’ve just been informed this is my 500th post 🙂
- have you ever had anything like that happen to you?

We got ducted reverse cycle air con installed. Six months later we started getting condensation on internal walls. Turned out they had moved aside all our roof insulation and then not put it back. We were not impressed.

Lol. Wads of fluff, having just given a man sixty bucks and a big compliment, are shocking. And honestly, how much more rat-like can a wad get?!

In Sweden we actually call them dust rats. I sometimes miss them when vacuuming and then my wife yells the signs you had in the headline at me! Looking forward to the next 500 posts.

Children leave their socks balled up behind doors. Dust clings to them and they look like miniature tyrannosaurs. Used the broom to take them to the laundry room.
