We started off the morning with warming up yet again the icy winds are a killer here on the mountain. After warming up a bit we folded up two loads of washing and put them away and then DH washed up the dishes and cleaned the benches and I wiped them and put them away.
Out onto the veranda next where we packaged up the rest of the sweet potatoes into a box and the 4 large ones requested from a family we visit and will take the box to church to giveaway tomorrow. We then saw one of our next door neighbour's and asked him if he wanted some too and he grabbed 2 large ones one for him and one for his vegetarian daughter to take too.
Back inside again where I swept and boiled the kettle and prepared our dish washing liquid and ammonia mix to mop the floors and fireplace surroung with (2 tablespoons of ammonia and 1 tablespoon of dish washing liquid in 2lts of cold water and top with the same amount of hot water). This cleans both greasy vinyl floors and tiles beautifully and makes them shine.
Just read our lesson for church tomorrow and now sitting down and relaxing in front of the fire again to warm up.
Sewing, Didn't know it was still cold there ,hope things warm up soon. We use Murphys Oil soap on our wood floors, but may try dish,ammonia next although it is time to re varnish. Use to use Pine Oil but can't find any of that thats not full of chemicals anymore.
