Cleaning

I have said before how much I hate the low winter light. Every dust mite casts a shadow and everything looks filthy.

For example, I was walking about the kitchen and I noticed some fingerprints on the dishwasher, and I cleaned those, then when I stood up I saw some cobwebs on the ceiling, followed by fingerprints on the microwave, then what looked like a dead bug in the ceiling corner and then two mysterious dots on the soffit.

I cleaned everything I could without getting on a ladder. For those I just might wait until summer, when the light is kinder.

Speaking of unkind winter, the daffodils are nowhere near blooming height because of the two ice storms we've had recently. I won't see daffodils until mid-March. It's going to be a slog through mid and filth until then.

I mean, I can't complain because I don't live in Ukraine, and I'm not being shelled or sieged. All four walls and a roof surround me. Doubt that anyone in Ukraine is pouting about daffodils right now.
