Flying time!

Time still seems to be racing past at the speed of... time! It seems like I've just blinked and it's four days later. Well, for two of those days, I was a fighting off a cold, which seems to have been hanging around for a while - I swear that my immune system has deteriorated since radiotherapy, though it's probably all in my mind and the real reason is the ageing proces. Then, yesterday, it was cottage cleaning again. More points to add to my list of things that you shouldn't do if you're hiring a holiday cottage...

1. Firstly, remember to collect all the rubbish and put it into the bin outside. It is rude not to! The fee includes cleaning the house, it does not include clearing up your mess!
2. Try to wipe down surfaces before you leave - your toast crumbs are not pleasant and it would only take you an instant to remove them and throw them away.
3. Make sure you've emptied the fridge...
4. If you break something, leave a note confessing to what you've done - the owner has an inventory and will notice, even if it's just a glass! If you hope to come back to the cottage again, honesty really is the best policy.
   
5. Put things back where you found them! (this one bears repeating)

And today? Online tutoring. I've used approximately five of my weekly contracted nine hours today...

Hmmm, maybe the reason I'm tired is because I'm busy, not because of age or even the after-effects of radiotherapy...
