My daily life is mostly occupied with cleaning people's homes. Pointing at and exclaiming about the things that interests me in these places might be considered impolite so instead I have taken inspiration from this verbatim poem and composed my own list of names for the places I have visited over the last six months.
House with many wind aperturesHouse of hairy dollsNew baby, zombie lady housePants on floor houseHouse of love and frayed carpetsSticky wall houseHouse with no place for bottom or cup of teaHouse of many cushionsHouse where big man sleepsHouse for lady in bunny suitHouse like grandma’s
House where man consider ending life

Hey Lulu! Okay, you had me here:
ReplyDelete"New baby, zombie lady house"
Tho to be fair, "House for lady in bunny suit" is pretty intriguing too.
I wonder what you'd call my place?
Indigo
The Lion's Den?
Delete"House with many wind apertures"
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking something like this. Of course, that may be very, very wrong.
From the house of dust bunnies!
That's a cool place LX but the house of many wind apertures could also be called 'nearly falling down house'
Delete"Pants on floor" Reminiscent of old students' digs!
ReplyDeleteI'm coming to Bristol next week! See email.
Happy days Di, saw your email and about to reply x
DeleteLulu, I have missed you. Won't you visit my house one time? *grins*
ReplyDeleteI must admit it is a rather interesting list. But then again, people are strange creatures. =)

I visit more than you know Kane xx
Deletei'm having a deep think about what i'd call my own house! LOL xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSo many delicious epitaphs for your place xxx
DeleteI, too, am a house cleaner.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add "house of secret drinker"...
Pearl
I'm sure your roll call would be fascinating
DeleteI have just had a look at my house through the 'eyes' of your post.
ReplyDeleteI think I might move.
Trouble is that we always have to take ourselves with us
DeleteMy parents ran a hotel when I was a child and my mother told me that guests were judged by the chambermaids, as a result of which I always leave hotel rooms immaculate. Home is home, though. I'd call it The Tip.
ReplyDeleteBrave parents though, I've heard some gruesome guest stories
Delete'house of the OCD towel-folder'! :/
ReplyDeletexxx
I did that one a while ago but got sacked for bringing too many germs in
DeleteGood grief, Lulu, you really are cruising the soft dark underbelly of society thse days! No more films about ants?
ReplyDeleteThey're not signing the contracts like they used to Gadj x
DeleteA new post weeks ago and I am just finding it now? Sorry to be in so late here.
ReplyDeleteI feel a short story coming on. Logline: "Insensate bourgeois householders employ cleaner, obviously slightly out of the ordinary, but not guessing that "cleaner" is actually a fairy sent to test them, as fairies so often are, and to bestow either a blessing or a curse and to fix them with a simple phrase."
There should be many a story coming out of this episode - not sure when though Kim x
ReplyDeleteI am house with rumbling Smeg.
ReplyDeleteRumbling Smeg is my favourite band Ms Quotes
