I offered to do the washing up last night. First, I cleaned the floor and then I made it clear to T who normally washes up – well, actually always washes up, that I was quite happy for her to go and sit down and leave the rest to me. It was steak for P and he always leaves a bit so I thought do my bit for the credit crunch and environment by cleaning up the leftovers, no worries about adding to landfill I see to it we don’t throw much away. T didn’t seem that keen on letting me clear up, I was trying to clean the plates as she put them in the dishwasher but she kept telling me to stop. They could save water and reduce their electricity bills if they let me help.
I hung around in the kitchen even though by this stage the clearing up was nearly done. P of course, was lying on the sofa watching TV unaware of my efforts. I am not sure what he does for the environment, he certainly causes pollution – noise pollution that is when he snores. I, on the other hand pick up as much litter in the park as I can. If any bread has been left for the ducks then I think it is only right to remove it, if the ducks haven’t eaten it then they are not going to miss it are they? If any crisp or sweet packets have been dropped I check them to ensure there is nothing inside. I take this public duty seriously and am quite thorough. At home I keep the kitchen clean but there isn’t anywhere else in the house of interest and T seems quite happy to for me to leave it to her.
You certainly can't blame me for global warming, unlike cows. I knew there was a reason I didn't like them.
