Slobs are us

J turned up here in a jumper with a hole in it, a stain down the front, and a logo which had so disappeared into the fabric that it looked like another stain. Bear in mind that J is moderately wealthy – a new jumper is not in any way beyond his means. So I said I would wash it for him, and I did – but when I took it out, I realized that the hole had a few friends. It looks as though moths have got into it. Hard luck J – it is beyond your reach and is going in the bin.

However in slobbishness he is clearly not alone. I was cleaning the lounge and moved the coffee table Lucky sleeps under. I had been pushing the hoover as far under it as would reach – but obviously not far enough. This is all his fur on the cream carpet. R had to hoover it about 10 times to get it back to cream again.
