Dishwashing Diva

God alone knows where she gets it from. It certainly isn't me.

Try as I might to steer her clear from the route of dirt fascism, she just loves to clean.

Dishwashing is the latest thing. She stands herself on a stool beside the basin, demands that water be poured into it, then proceeds to footle around with the dishes for a while then she mops down the worksurfaces, with a wet cloth so water goes everywhere.

Precious little gets cleaned, but she enjoys it immensely, Passionately. Obsessively.

Then she likes to go into the tea-towel drawer, pull them all out, lay them neatly on the floor, then re-fold them and put them back again.
