Next week’s photo prompt is

It seems we are in good company Vashti, judging by the other comments – we have all been there, done that and got the dusty T-shirt. xx

Dust pie nightmare is hard to endure. Mine lasted a few weeks. Not pleasant! We had to put our appliances in the living room while the kitchen was being renovated. Loved your poem. 🙂

Have no clue why I was targeted by Askimet to be thrown into spam. It was happening with all bloggers until some found me.

Thanks Dorris – what a challenging time it can be – I’m not sure I’ve recovered yet – but at least the builders dust has been purged from the house after 5 years!

Sounds like a tough time. I remember in my previous house having work done and finding brick dust on the dining table every morning so I smiled knowingly at your haiku!

I thought someone would relate to the dust element.
It was truly hideous and very stressful! However I am pleased with the results.
