Finally Feather Free

After a weekend of "magsjuka" (throwing-up) in the household the covers and cushions on the sofa had to be washed. As the initial clean-up was done in haste this led to feathers getting just about everywhere... 

Like water they have a tendency to find their way into the smallest and least inaccessible areas only to re-emerge and cause trouble afterwards - inside and outside the washing machine, living room and balcony. They possess some magical property to hang around in the air until one set of cleaning is done and then "innocently" fall back to earth.

Two days of de-feathering and intensive hoovering. Let's hope we all stay healthy for a while!

I wonder if birds have the same amount of trouble keeping the nest clean.
