A friend just emailed photos of the decorations in her house. My goodness, her living room is tidy! Mine always looks like a tornado just passed through.
Several years ago, one of my friend’s got burgled and of course the police came round. One officer said sympathetically, “My goodness, they made a mess, didn’t they?”
She had to admit that she hadn’t even noticed anything odd until she tried to put a tape in the video machine, and realised the machine wasn’t there any more. The mess was perfectly normal.
My house is like that. It’s not dirty, you understand, just chaotic. I think my mission in life is to make house proud friends feel smug at the comparison. I’m not showing you photos! You’ll just have to use your imagination.
