Keeping Things Clean

Spent the early afternoon getting very sweaty indeed, ministering to the books and magazines on the shelves outside the apartment with our trusty vacuum cleaner. I'm not convinced the bi-annual clean-up does the objects in question all that much good, but it makes me feel better. In fact, the stuff outside gets a bit more attention over a year than the books inside since I think there's a bit more dust out there. So the bi-annual notion applies to the stuff inside, plus the books and magazines in KL and my desk at work. 

This end-of-year clean-up was spread over a month, starting towards the end of November and finishing today, so it felt a bit less frenzied than it has sometimes felt in the past, when I've tended to leave it to the last minute. Must say, I feel particularly virtuous as a result, hence, I suppose, the odd compulsion to record this for the world to know.
