My German housemate Jonas's parents are currently visiting him here in Cape Town, and for some reason, they're staying in our house. While it is a little bit weird to come downstairs in the morning to see two middle aged people sitting at our kitchen table sipping coffee and reading the newspaper, having adults around has been an absolute delight. Mostly because they wash all their dishes, dry them and put them up. A dream come true, considering the contention and strife (the pro-dishwashing campaign led by me and Lindsey versus the lazy opposition) that dishes have brought 4 Selby Road in the past few weeks. Our kitchen has never looked so clean thanks to the presence of parents. The sound of running water and clinking glasses downstairs brings me such joy and so much appreciation for grown-ups. I don't want them to leave!
Obviously not our dishes (hence the watermark indicative of stock photography) but since I've been lacking in pictures recently, I think this conveys what our kitchen normally looks like in the absence of adults.
Now with Jonas's parents around, it's more like this. Man I love stock photos.
