You can never have enough...

The outside of the house has been washed down and it looks so much better.  Didn't matter that I got wet and spiders ended up in my hair lol.  I usually do it twice a year as the westerlies blow a lot of soil from the spud and onion paddocks onto the house.  The worst of the roses have been dead headed, I need an hour or so of fine weather to let the cuts heal over so those thunder clouds can just buggar off for a bit.  It's my first real season of Buff Beauty flowering and she has the sweetest scent.  A bonus as I bought her because I liked her flowers.  Dead heading the roses around the Christmas lilies has me sneezing so I'm inside to try and get my hay fever back under control.  Time for a cuppa me thinks

My flat has the parking area right outside which means all the glass and white woodwork gets a black sticky film all over it, so every couple of months I am out there with a bucket of hot soapy water, a soft broom, and the hose. It is a very satisfying job, seeing the sparkle and shine come back. It does however make it really obvious who bothers to do it and who doesn't! 

Which is why we get contractors arriving once each year to do the same job with pressure sprayers that make a hell of a lot more noise and mess... I prefer my method.
