Narrowing the focus

We have an annual event next week. The Bardfest as it has come to be called. That is to say, a big gathering of the family at our house with camping and BBQ and lots of food.
This is a lot of fun and involves merriment, small children, often half naked, at least two, possibly three dogs, tents, more food, oh, a good deal of drink, more food, late night world sorting/silly conversations on the lawn, delightful, scatty, elderly ladies. It lasts from some time on Friday evening until some time on Monday and no doubt, causes the neighbours a certain amount of entertainment and/or annoyance :).
It also involves a good deal of advance cleaning and tidying of the Bardsley house. So it's possible, next week I may become somewhat obsessed with the minutiae of scrubbing, cobwebs, paintwork and floors. I may make lists. I may become so involved with the gargantuan task of getting this house in order that some of these lists and some descriptions of the things I encounter and the obstacles I overcome (or circumvent) will find their way onto this blog. If so, I hope you'll forgive me and be patient :) Some of this stuff may not be pretty!
What's more I am procrastinating. There may be blogging about how much I haven't done!
So here is something pretty to be going on with :)
