That's why dark floors are good, doesn't show the muck up for ages. Black socks give it away though.

Owl notebook is great - I think I might pop in there and have a look.

Glad I'm not the only one who leaves cleaning the kitchen floor!
Your primroses are stunning and I hovered over that same owl stationary in Paperchase last week it is lovely!

It's good to get a new month off with an appreciation of what gives us pleasure.

I do like your pink primulas.

Over here in New York, I am delighted that my week-old ruby, edged with cadmium yellow primulas are still alive. I so love drawing them, trying to learn where their funny little wheely petal formations arise.

It's grand to find that folks can been many, many miles away, yet still be caught up with similar enthusiasms.

Have a fine Monday ... and may the rest of the week be even better.

I have a pink broom with flowers on it, unfortunately it hasn't spurred me into using it more frequently!

Delcicious primroses Julia. I should sit down and admire them and the mop and bucket rather than usign them. Don't want to wear yourself out. Can't remember the last time I mopped mine - oops!

Have a lovely week

LOL I have nightmares about cleaning my kitchen floor and I'm not joking!
Great bucket though.

Is blogger being a nightmare for you too? Thought it was just me it didn't like :-)
