Overhead Lighting Is Your Enemy

I've always had the belief that overhead lighting is your enemy, all that bright, dazzling light beaming down on you, piece your retinas, no thanks.

So, any overhead lights that I have have always had low powered globes in them. Always.

It's not about how I look, don't get me wrong, it's just your living space is so much nicer when it has soft, warm lighting.

I do the cleaning at our place. Sam does the cooking and I do the cleaning, although Sam does do the dusting and clean the bathroom. I do the vacuuming.

The weekend is cleaning day. Today, when I was cleaning around the fire place it looked kind of dirty down in the dimly lit places by the bottom of the mantle on either side of the fire. So, I got the torch, and with the bright light of the torch shone it was filthy.

Then, I shone the torch down beside the sideboard and the bookcase/desk and it was disgusting. Really caked with dust. Bloody hell, I thought. What pigs live here?

Wow! It was eye-opening. The things you don't notice.
