which are your favourite chores? i like doing the washing-up but this week i’m doing the dusting, too. my sister usually does it, but she’s staying in the country with a friend for a few days. have you ever stayed in the country? i used to visit my grandparents there in the summer when i was a child. they used to cook wonderful meals with no microwave or blender. in fact, they had few gadgets and did everything by hand. but with or without anything technical, believe me, nobody could cook better than my granny!
