Ripples and tsunamis

It rained today :(

As often happens when the rain is slow and steady, the moisture gathers on my deck and slowly begins to creep along the grooves, filling the space until the last dry, under-cover area is sodden.

The movement is barely noticeable, but the movement is nevertheless, inexorable. Ripples.

In a similar vein I began my house clean & tidy today so that I can leave it for my house-sitter in a presentable and homely fashion. Nothing big - just one room at a time - today I began with the bathroom.

A ripple.

It feels good to have it clean and orderly, ready for its guest.

My more usual approach to housework is more akin to a tsunami . . . . . which may still yet happen!
