More guests

Despite everything, I love having guest.

Spent some time yesterday – ok, quite a lot – cleaning up the house again, this time quite thoroughly and especially giving the kitchen a good scrub. I love cleaning, really – I hate starting the process, but once it gets going I absolutely love it. I especially love how everything changes, you start with chaos and end up with order, you start with dirty and get clean. When I woke up this morning it just felt so good waking up to a clean apartment instead of the pig sty it so quickly turns into when two full-time working tired people live there.

This is one of the nice things about having guests, you make the effort you normally wouldn’t. I also love cooking for guests, and my sister offers me an interesting challenge – I already had the opportunity to test a recipe for baked feta on Chu which I know my sister will adore. If everything goes to plan I should even have a day off on Friday so we can spend some quality time together.

For a moment I entertained the idea of going to see Bruce Springsteen on Saturday as good tickets are still available, but as the guests weren’t interested I think I’m going to pass. Doesn’t matter though, there’s plenty to do in Vancouver on any given day even without Bruce. And we have been planning a proper Mah Jong session while they’re here so that should keep us busy if nothing else – that’s also a chance to test our new set that we haven’t played with yet.

So I’m off to the airport in a second to pick up the next batch of guests.
