'Forward the 'Flash' brigade!'
For the past hour and a half I have been fighting for my life. My opponent? Oh, a mighty foe, strong enough to make grown men shrink away in terror, one that oppressed women for centuries; a tyrant the world over, whom everyone fears. Some, they live their lives by it, afraid of making it worse; some try to fight it, to ignore it, but its shadow only looms
darker and larger. And I have been grappling with this foe in the hopes of vanquishing it, but found it to be even harder than I expected, and I have finally escaped breathing heavily, sweating, but safe in the knowledge that I will not need to tackle it again for a while.
I am talking, of course, of housework. Or, as I like to call it, That Which Will Get You Beaten With The Hoover If You Name It. I have been dancing a merry dance with the vacuum cleaner, as it pulls me whichever way it wants to go, sucking up important objects in its quest to make me unhappy. I have been scrabbling in the dust, coughing and spluttering, trying to wipe away every dirty little smear. I have been TIDYING.
Some people like this sort of thing.
Bloody masochists.
