When am I cleaning windows?

Like most people, I don't look forward to house-work. My list of least favourite jobs includes emptying bins, cleaning loos, mopping floors, dusting.... and cleaning windows. As a result I am sitting in my front room in a haze of blazing sunshine but cannot see anything outside in the street. The effect is rather like frosted glass, which is of course what I was going for. 
This weekend Jamie and I were supposed to be doing DIY, however the Friday holidays we had taken to do it had to be cancelled due to work. There are many upsides to this, the chief of which is not having to actually do the DIY,  however it does also mean that we have to live with the gaps in the skirting and dirty hall for a bit longer. 
Instead I will be doing the usual things on my weekend - friends and food. I've already fitted in dinner with Laura last night and will be off to brunch later today. I've also got new glasses which I'm getting used to - Jamie said I look like a secretary, which to a vintage-lover is a great complement. And maybe some garden action too.
