From Ruth Gledhill:
The Archbishop of Canterbury has a son who is of school age and who, like any schoolboy and certainly like my own young son, loves nothing more than a good play date.
This boy was apparently round at a friend's house the other day when his dad, Dr Rowan Williams, appeared on the television, as he does.
'Oh look,' piped up the boy's school friend. 'There's that man on the telly who does the hoovering at Pip's house.'
Mitres off to you Jane, you've got your priorities right. I think you might just be deserving of another bottle of Times champagne for this coup in domestic ecclesiastical politics.
Credit due. Archbishop Williams, if you push the Hoover in your house, you deserve applause. You're an example to all husbands. How about a video of your technique? We may learn a more efficient way to do the chore.
Thanks to Lapin for the link.
Very thorough in some places and skipping lightly over others, but the rooms have to all sign on to the Hoover covenant.
ReplyDeleteNice story. My hose could use a bit of hoovering right now.
ReplyDeleteGave myself a good laugh. It's my house, not hose that needs hoovering.
ReplyDeleteGood, Susan.
ReplyDeleteAmelia, you gave me my first laugh of the day. I can just picture the Hoover sucking up your hose.
Mimi: "Archbishop Williams, if you push the Hoover in your house, you deserve applause."
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, if you've vacuumed up all the pile from the rugs in the West end of the house and keep going around the furniture in the South end of the house rather than cleaning under it, then not so much.
A man that hoovers! There is quite a bit I disagree with him on, but a man that is willing to do that around the house...Maybe we could confine him there?!
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), Ciss, Rowan tries. Give him that - with the Hoover, anyway. I think he's not to be trusted with matters ecclesiastical.
