Have spent the day on and off cleaning. I can believe those "flat surface" theories of home interiors, where every flat surface becomes a dump zone for clutter. That's what happened to my place 😔 Even on top of the fridge and on top of the dishwasher, cluttered with bits and pieces and thick with dust. The fridge is next to the stove and the extractor fan isn't really up to the task of taking all the oily air out. I have scrubbed, polished and discarded stuff. Now having a cup of tea and a Shredded Wheatmeal biscuit (ok several) and wishing they were Chocolate Wheatons.
