Hardwood floors

Day 21 of 'The Daily Post'.

I am unique in the world. I don't see the attraction of hardwood floors.

Carpets are cosy and warm, and soft and quiet. Hardwood floors are clean and hygienic, I grant you that much, but they are noisy and have an unwelcoming look about them. Hardwood floors are unforgiving. Every speck of dust, every hair, every drop, every footprint shows. They are a pain to live with, unless you want to vacuum every day. I don't. Either want to vacuum every day, or vacuum every day.

Hardwood floors are for catalogue people. You know, the ones whose beds are made perfectly every morning, and whose sofas have scatter cushions beautifully placed on them. Whose bathrooms have bottles in neat rows, and no toothpaste smears round the basins. Whose hand towels hang square in the ring, and whose kitchens have clutter-free counters. Hardwood floors are for these people.

Kitchen counters. That's another one. I don't like granite kitchen counter tops. I just don't. I find them dark and oppressive, and they reflect the lights too much. I go to my kitchen for comfort and homeliness, not for a space age experience.

And yes, I know hardwood floors do not make much of a blog post, but this is day 21 of my month of daily posts, I've had 3 out of 3 children off sick in the past week, and you have to hand it to me, I did throw in granite counter tops at the last.

This is not a sponsored post, by the way.
