A Clean Home for Guests

Just a quick thought before I leave to pick up great company for the long weekend.

Why, before invited guests arrive to your home, do we start to clean?  It is such a strange phenomenon, that I will never understand.  Not that I go crazy mind you by frantically cleaning everything but yes I still do clean, mainly the muddles that I have created since the last visit.  And of course a good sweep of the dog hair and dirt that they so lovingly deposit every day.   And then when guest leave, you are left with another clean!! I remember Mum used to use Sundays as “cleaning” day – the home was cleaned from top to bottom and, yes she still does her Sunday cleaning.  Even asks me if I am in the midst of cleaning when I call on Sundays!!  Yes, Mum ……… I don’t think so!!

We humans, certainly do have some strange behaviours at times and certainly creatures of habit.  That said, it just reminds me, I have to sweep the floor ………
