I’ve been collecting the sweepings off the kitchen floor, the dust off all the surfaces, the stuff out of the hoover, and gak out of the plug hole. It’s all in preserving jars on the kitchen window sill.
The landlady looked but didn’t mention it. I think she just blanked it out. Lots of people seem to do that.
I overheard Older Daughter say to her friend ‘I dunno – it’s probably just mum’s art.’ She watched me make it but knows better than to ask why. It could unleash a tirade about Housework, and she likes to avoid those conversations.
It’s really interesting to see who notices, who dares to ask about it, how people respond…
