This week Linda has challenged us to write a post containing the word ‘deep’. Challenge accepted.
I imagine that lockdown has provided everyone with the opportunity to do a Spring clean, a deep clean. My Spring cleans don’t usually involve copious quantities of antiseptic solution, but this Spring is anything but normal, and the house is gleaming.
With the inside taken care of, my attention has turned to the outside. Mr D has lawn envy. Every day he drools as our neighbour’s grass cutting robot wanders out to cut the front grass. I caught him measuring our grass, which looks more like a moss haven, and researching different models of robot. Stage one commences this morning. A new lawn scarifier has arrived. I imagine that by lunchtime today we will be knee deep in piles of extracted moss.
One thing’s for sure, by 5pm today we will be deep-soaking our tired bodies in the hot tub, drinking a couple of well-earned cool beers, probably Coronas and lime wedges just for the irony of it all.

A lovely post, I hope your lawn is soon the marvel of the street.

At the moment it looks more like it’s been hit by weed killer 😬
It’s needs a few days to recover 😁

I’d happily admire hubs’ lawn. Tell him we always curb our dog and we always pick up the solids.

We do too, Dan. It’s been years since we did anything about the moss. 12 garden refuse bags later and we’re only half way there!😬🤪

The spring-cleaning bug didn’t get me. The cooking one did. So I’ve made tubs of butternut soup and brown hot cross buns.

I’ve been investing my time in the outside right now. The sun on my face is doing me a world of good but you’re right, this house needs a serious spring clean right now.
