I'm a slut like all the other guys

I'd rather run a mile a day uphill from it.

Visit an angry dentist, eat coriander, live with my mother, fill in my tax return.

All housework gives me a migraine, but worst is changing the sheet, pillow cases and (grrrrrª) duvet cover.

I start working up the energy and patience the day after the last time they were changed (in that instance by a cleaner who has returned to Poland for a wedding, hopefully not her own). And now, by some miracle, I won't have to start working up the energy again untul tomorrow. The miracle of my own, hidden, feminine-side competence. It didn't take long - once I had climbed inside the cover, holding two duvet corners in my finger tips. What was all my fuss about?

How prepostrous that I should speculate about the invention of self-changing sheets!

Still, all men are sluts, most of us in more ways than one.

You know there’s a technique to changing the bedding. You turn the covers inside out grab the duvet/pillow by the ends and yank the covers on. Hmm. Probably needs demonstrating.
I also hate taking the washing out of the washing machine. In fact I hate all domestic chores except washing up which I find strangely therapeutic. Never dry though.

  I must admit that it is a surprise - on the edge of being disturbing - that you confess to any domestic knowledge at all. xx
  
  btw, that Balzac on your (new?) reading list - is that the best one to read? I think Pierre Goriot is the only one I have ever read, but I have always liked his (ugh) vibe. I'm certainly with G.Moore in prefering him to the shock jock Zola.

    Haha. I'm a fledgling domestic goddess, what can I say.
    
    The reading list is very old. I should update it. Cousin Bette's quite good if slightly protracted (as most of Balzac's work is.) I would say only read it if you happen to stumble upon it by chance. Not sure if you've read 'The Ginger Man' by Donleavy but if you haven't I recommend it. People either love it or hate it. I'd be very interested to hear what you think. I've also recently read a little book called 'Zazie in the Metro' by Raymond Queneau which amused me immensely. And am currently getting to grips with Philip Larkin's letters which brilliant, might do a blog after I'm done. Oh and 'The End of the Affair' is superb isn't it? I think some people find it hard to overlook the religious aspects but personally it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the book at all.

      I offered the 2nd hand bookseller 20+ drossy books today. He rejected them all, but gave me a pb of the Ginger Man to keep me quiet.
