My mother's in England at the moment visiting friends and relatives, so I'm doing my usual thing of looking after the apartment and keeping the cat company while she's gone. It ends up taking me twice as long to get to and from work, but the cat's fun to have around, and at least this time I remembered to bring the X-Box over as well.

Anyway, last night, my mother came to me in a dream...

...looked around, and told me the place really needed a vacuum.

I told her I'd get it done before she got back.

She seemed satisfied.
