My front room still looks like a crack den but yesterday I had enough impetus to get on with a bit more sanding on the floor,

We took the door between the front room and the bottom of the stairs/front door off so that Fred in his wheelchair could better access the dirty washing when he was about his daily round of non- stop drudgery. I am, of course, kindness incarnate.

The door is still off and there are two curtains across the doorway, one in the room, one in the hall.

The yuppyish neighbour came round yesterday to tell us he was going to be letting off fireworks in the evening and that we were welcome to come round and have a drink and stuff.

The front door was open because of the dust but the curtains were closed so I said I was lying on the floor so please pull the curtain over as I was lying on the floor playing with my toys (sanders). He thought I might have a bad back.

It wasn't until he had left that I thought how glad I was that he was not holding a camera. What an illustration of how village life really is that would have been.

Fat old biddy chav lies prone on the floor of a crack den! Lucky I didn't have a can of beer as well.

There is another bit too.

He said 'Oh are you sanding the floor? I think that's the best way to do it.'

I can't really think of any other way to do it. I am certainly not tearing them up and putting them on a bench just to sand them.

At least he gave the 'correct' assumption.

SOME people may have asked if you'd been on the bevy :-)

A crack den looks just like my front room.

I don't know of any more in the village. There might be but I have my own.

My front room still looks like the ones you always see police raiding on crime documentaries.

I still have not finished sanding the floor and I have a sofa the cat has got the better of and an old chair out of a skip because there is a lot of dust when I am sanding and I can't replace them just yet..

Why not drop in some time?

It is not just the floor. You would be amazed at where it can get.

When I did the floor originally with a belt sander poor old Fred had to go to the doctor with conjunctivitis.

The doctor couldn't work out how he got it as he didn't work anywhere, never mind in a dusty environment.
