One of my pet hates is crumbs in the bed – something which can happen because Sandie can be prone to a slice of toast in front of the TV in our room. It has recently become apparent that I much prefer to share a bed with Maxime…. Part of his bed time routine involves reading one of his books in our bed for five minutes before he trundles off to his own room. Last night when I went to bed I was very happy to discover that various cold patches at the foot of the bed were actually one and two euro coins that Maxime had picked up from somewhere in the house but had placed under our quilt. I found a total of 7 euros. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to bed and made money (although on reflection, that in itself is probably a good thing).
In actual fact if I were really cynical, I would say that it was just Maxime trying to redeem himself after having cleaned the inside of the toilet (yes the wet bit), with a vacuum cleaner (yes powered by electricity), earlier in the day. He claimed to have seen “fire” coming out of the hoover, but in any case I think we can rest assured that the 7 euros, (which probably belonged to me in any case), is insufficient to mend this most essential of household appliances. I really think I need to start making a list of all the things that have broken in the house since his arrival almost three years ago (carefully phrased because according to his mother, he obviously he doesn’t break anything himself).
