Four dogs and a tidy house? RESPECT!!!
I don't think we'll ever get as far as grace notes, but I'll settle for a bit of 'character' as long as it's basically clean.
I know I'm making excuses but I forgot to mention dead bugs in sample pots, a mummified frog, ant farm and six assorted microscopes! It wouldn't matter how hard I scrubbed, 'orderly' isn't going to happen in our house but that's okay with me I've no regret in my choice and it isn't as though I missed the fact D is chaos on legs.
On the downside it's a cleaning hell, on the upside there's always something around to amaze a guest from a 1910 book on pharmacology to a butterflies wing. On a good day they may even have the pleasure of electrocution from an 1800's electromagnetic cure for nervous disorders!!
It's a terrifying place when it moulders though!!
