In four days, friends from US will arrive to stay with us for a two week holiday. I’m really looking forward to their visit.
But even though my house is pretty much neat, clean and well organised for daily life, it’s a different story when company’s coming. Today I made a list of what I need to do before Sunday afternoon, when we haul out to Narita to pick them up:
- air out the spare futons & duvets
- wash the linens
- make room in the pantry for luggage
- stock the fridge
- pay the bills that fall due while they’re here
- tie up loose ends with my various projects
- clean Tod’s coffee stain off the bathroom wall
- check the supply of toilet paper, soap and coffee filters
- get some extra “outdoor” slippers for the veranda
- get another stool for the veranda
Tod will tell me I’m being silly, but who wants to sleep on musty linens, trip over baggage in the halls or have to run errands for spare toilet paper in the middle of a vacation?

I’m not entirely sure but judging from the forensic evidence on the wall, he’d balanced his coffee cup on the toilet roll holder, then bumped it with his elbow when he stood up. Or something like that….
Posted by: kuri on March 27, 2003 09:08 AMAll chores sound perfectly sensible to me.. but perhaps you need to add a coffee cup holder to the back of the loo door?
