Monday I had guests at the Secret Lair, which is not a common thing. Big Brother and New SIL stopped over on a long road trip west.
This meant that part of Sunday got spent cleaning the Lair – also not a common thing – and making sure possibly embarrassing Bachelor Hermit Foibles were corrected or stashed out of sight.
This evening I was sorting out some photographs, and it occurred to me that one of the embarrassing things I’d chosen to correct probably wouldn’t have made a big difference to visiting townie relatives…
…but at the time I didn’t even think about it. Wouldn’t have done to be seen trying to cut something with a dull knife.
“dull knife”? Sorry, that phrase is contradictory hereabouts. I’d say sharpening a knife before guests arrive is equivalent to oh, say, cleaning the toilet or tossing all the empty pizza boxes.
…I did clean the toilet…
Wasn’t implying you didn’t clean it. I just meant I took it for granted that of course your knife was sharp prior to the arrival of guests, just as all those other tasks were done.
