Dear Dennis,
The younglings pot of white spirit - it was an empty dried yeast tin with a plastic lid - for his art oil painting, was knocked over by a cat this morning .... it (the pot of white spirits) was on the dining room table ..... he had put the lid on, however the lid leaked and white spirit soaked through the multi newspaper layers and under the cutting board protecting the table from his paints. Oil paint doesn't run at all but the white spirit spread and covered half the polished wood table .... the house now stinks of white spirits. But at least the table is nice and shiny. One of the cats was sick, in the sink, over the washing-up I'd stacked ready to be washed..... bluly cats. I wiped the table and dried it as best I could with a roll of kitchen towel. I just looked outside and one of our cats (the big tom) is sitting on a plank of wood I'd strategically place, to dry out, near the boiler flue outlet. He looks to be asleep .... are cats affected by CO ? Uh and I've now noticed the dining table is mostly devoid of polish and is looking particularly dull - the white spirit and my vigorous drying has taken all the polish off. This is definitely one of those Thursdays. Before the brunette gets in this evening I now have to re-polish the dining table and somehow get rid of the white spirit smell from the house ... a cut onion is supposed to do the trick but how do I then get rid of the smell of onion from the dining room?
Do you have Thursdays where you are?
Kind regards (what on earth does that mean?
