My Life of Grime!

Stuff mountain :

This Tuesday will go down in the annals of Jerushah history as the day when our lovely new house changed from a clutter free, oasis of calm to something resembling the house of Mr Trebus from ‘Life of Grime.’ In fact, after showing my friends the before and after photo’s, they have now started to call me ‘Mrs Trebus!’

The cause of all this upheaval is that on Tuesday I had all my non essential possessions (not stuff or junk), from the old house delivered from storage. Bearing in mind that the old house had three bedrooms an enormous garden and a garage, and this house just has one bedroom and a miniscule patio, I expect you can see the root of the problem ?

My facebook status earlier this week read ‘Huge junk pile just delivered, feels like I’m chipping away at Mount Everest with a teaspoon!’ Things are slightly better now (after ten black bags went out with the rubbish and four carloads went to the tip), but I think I may have my work cut out over the Easter break !

A mental break :
In addition to the junk pile (oops ! Non essential possession pile) being delivered, there will be a bit more excitement this week as I will be off on a field trip to Almeria in Spain with the School of Science. It is actually very close to where I completed part of my undergraduate degree in the mid 1990’s, so in addition to all the interesting geography and geology we are going to be looking at, I am also looking forward to visiting some of my old haunts – Can’t wait ! I hope to have loads of tales to tell on my next blog !

Naughty, naughty Jerushah ! I have a confession to make ! Last week I bought the Bruno Mars album ‘Doo-wops & Hooligans’, for my daughter as a birthday present, but from the minute I discovered this track the CD was not allowed to leave my car for several days !

‘Our first time’ is just the most ideal fusion of reggae and R&B that I have ever heard...I just keep choosing track 3, then listening to it again, and again, and yet again. Perhaps I am just a little bit obsessed ? I made sure that ‘S’ took the CD with her when she went to stay at her dad’s place this week, as it probably needs a rest ! Jerushah X
