I hate cleaning

Like, seriously: I'm actually good at it, but I despise doing it. If someone wants to avoid cooking, then I might avoid cleaning. To be honest, when I was in charge of this at the Wallace flat, I persuaded my brother to hire a cleaner. It's really quite affordable if you pay on a fortnightly basis, and it honestly saves dozens of fights that otherwise would have happened between flatties (or partners).

Coming Up was something that John Lennon worked on with Paul. It's not a Lennon-McCartney song, but it's based on a riff that John had.

I'm not a terrible cook, but I'm a really boring cook: I follow recipes to the letter, or as best I can. There was a chocolate pudding that I enjoyed making, along with meat-and-three-vege staples that we cooked when I was a teenager. Vegan food... well, let's say that I'm open-minded. It's not a particular passion of mine: I figure that the climate savings that I make by barely travelling counteract my desire to eat meat. 🥩

cleaning services in urban NZ are roughly $55/hour. Minimum of 3hrs $245 + GST. I swear, it made a huge difference at 104 Wallace Street. Everyone quit whining! 🤣
