Krydderier og støv - Spices and Dust

Alle de store maskiner larmer udenfor. Det er jeg blevet vant til, og de larmer jo ikke hele tiden. Byggepladsen er også ret interessant. Der sker noget hver dag.

Men det støver!

Så nu er reglen, at jeg vasker ting af, før jeg bruger dem, ikke efter. Eller rettere både før og efter.

Det har gjort, at jeg har været nødt til at flytte rundt på nogle ting i mit køkken for at undgå de værste støvfælder, og der er mange, fordi jeg har alt på åbne hylder! Normalt elsker jeg det, for det forhindrer, at jeg putter ting væk, som egentlig skulle ud, men der er ikke meget, der er normalt lige nu. Men det er ok, for normalt kan også blive en spændetrøje, og når man bliver udfordret, tænker man nye tanker.

Det, jeg gjorde i morges, er i småtingsafdelingen, men det er rigtig hyggeligt at få lavet noget om, så det ser nyt ud - selv om man har haft det i flere år. Man må jo erkende, at man allerede har alt.

Men jeg flyttede nogle tørre madvarer, som normalt står fremme, ned i en skuffe, og de bytte plads med mine krydderier. De er jo 'pakket ind', så de ikke bliver støvede.

Det ser nyt ud, men er gammelt - eller anderledes. Der skal ikke så meget til for at forny sig!

Jeg har dækket af med et pænt viskestykke - I have covered the box with a nice tea towel

All the big construction machines are making noise outside. I have become used to that, and they aren't noisy all the time. The construction site itself is quite interesting. Something happens every day.

But there is so much dust!

A new rule here in the house is, that now I wash things, before I use them, not after. Or rather both before and after.

It has therefore been necessary to move some thing around in my kitchen to avoid the biggest dust traps, and there are many, because I have open shelving! Normally I love it, because it prevents me from putting things away. Things which should have been in the trash, but there are a lot of things, which aren't normal right now. And it is OK, because 'normal' can become a straitjacket, and when you are challenged, you think new thoughts.

What I did this morning is in the small stuff area, but it is quite nice to change something, so it all of a sudden looks new - even though you have had it for years. Sometimes you have to admit, that you already have everything.

But I moved some dry goods, which normally are on a shelf, down into a drawer, and they changed place with my spices. The spices are 'wrapped' already, so there is no harm.

It looks new, but is old - or different. It doesn't take much renew yourself!
