Expecting Social Distancing visitors
A day of excitement came to our home when two friends said that they would visit “tomorrow”. “It will be compliant to the “Social Distancing” norms,”
• We cleaned and disinfected our dusty outdoor table.
• We distanced and disinfected the chairs just in case the virus lurked ready to jump onto our derrieres
• With all the seriousness of preparing for a Japanese tea making ceremony, I readied the rubber gloves to
pick up the tea making paraphernalia.
• I disinfected the outside of the electric kettle, just stopping myself in time from disinfecting its’
inside
• The bathroom got a deep clean. The smell of disinfectant now wafted eye wateringly and reassuringly
through the house.
• We got out our precious liquid gold, the hand sanitiser.
• Now came the really clever part, using rubber gloves I replaced the half used toilet paper roll with a
brand new roll. I decided then and there that our guests could take home the leftover roll! Such toilet
paper generosity still fills me with a warm feeling.
• Finally, being super clever, I removed our towels and replaced them with carefully preserved, NOT
HOARDED, paper towels.
• But I forgot to use the rubber gloves! So then, hygienically gloved, I tore off another two lengths
• OH No! I did not disinfect the towel rail!
• Third time lucky! Now the bath room was a total germ free zone
After instructions to other half –“ON NO ACCOUNT to use the bathroom.” We waited, darkness came, but our guests did not. They did not come until the next day, but they stayed in their car.. Apparently in my excited anticipation of guests, I got the day wrong. Never mind, I still have that roll of toilet paper.
