E - Everything!
F - Floors

RE: An Alphabet of Things to Clean. :D - Veggie - 22-11-2025

F was the Fronts (and tops and sides) of the Fridge & Freezer.
G is the Glass tops on the chest of drawers and bedside tables.

Any H suggestions for tomorrow?

Hoover as in give the Hoover a bit of TLC. Empty bag (if it has one) clean filters, clean the brushes. Not actually using the hoover, no need to over do things!
House plants. Handles, handbags, hooks, hangers, hunting for miss placed items, hot water bottles

Houseplants and Handles show promise! Thanks.

For tomorrow’s I . Instruction manuals. Insurance paperwork, ink cartridges. Ingredients for tomorrow night’s meal.

Slow down - I haven't done my H yet (Probably Handles and Houseplants in Hall - and a dust of the Harmonium.)

Yeah, sorry. A little premature. But no guarantees I’d remember this evening or tomorrow. So thought I’d write it down straight away.

Harmonium? You sound like my brother, he plays a lute! Which he made himself  Rolleyes

I certainly didn't make my harmonium! I rescued it from a chapel "Up the Valleys" that was about to be demolished. We loaded it onto our trailer and drove it back to Cardiff. I had this terrible urge to sit with it in the trailer, pedalling and playing as we drove home!
It was actually unplayable as the mice/damp had damaged the bellows. However, I found a gentleman "down the (Tiger) Bay" who knew all about restoring harmoniums (?harmonia) as he was from the West Indies where there was a hamonium in every chapel, apparently.
Some months later, the harmonium was returned, beautifully polished and full of puff.
Its a full workout to play it, while your hands play the keys, your feet pump the pedals, right, left, right left and......to increase the volume you push against big wooden levers with your knees. Addtionally, there are "stops" to alter the tone of the keys which you pull out manually,
The critical action is the pedalling. The slightest hesitation and the music stops!
Its good fun. Big Grin

Sounds great. Do you play? Or is that a silly question. I only got as far as three blind mice (badly), brother on the other hand...... he restores organs.
The image of you playing it on the way home conjures up an image.
