It's nearly six weeks since I mentioned maulifuffing but I'm sure many of you have been doing your best for the great sisterhood. (New readers may not know that maulifuff is an old Scottish word for a woman devoid of energy, who would happily do nothing for hours on end or a woman who appears to keep herself busy but achieves nothing. The masculine equivalent is maulibum.)
Even longer ago I said one of my hibernaculum projects would be to sort the dining room. In the proud tradition of maulifuffs the intention was good but the activity was zilch. Or rather, there was a lot of activity in dumping more and more stuff in there.
So, for the next seven Mondays, I shall do a maulifuff report of how little I have achieved. On present showing, it will be very little. But I may raise a few rueful smiles.
I shall watch with interest! Sometimes it seems to me that the only way I'll ever have a lovely tidy room is to build on a new one and leave the old mess behind!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea!
DeleteI can see you are at the point where you wish you had not started.
ReplyDeleteThe weather in January and February has definitely encouraged my maulifuffing tendencies. I've no energy for housework when the sun refuses to shine for weeks on end.
