Camping and the hoover

A few months back we got a dog.  He’s great fun and on the whole a good thing.  One downside is that the hoovering rota in our humble abode has gone from maybe two or three times a week to daily.  So there I am hooving away and a conversation with a friend recently about the pro’s and cons of camping enters my thoughts.  What a wierd link you may think.  But here’s the thing.

With two  kids and the dog and us we must make 20+ trips in and out the front or back door every day and each time bring a little of the outside inside with us.  Then everyday we collect the little bits of outside inside the hoover, take them back outside and put them inside the bin.  Then the binmen take them away inside a truck and bury them where they become the outside again.

So I get to thinking camping actually does makes some sense.  Why not just live outside with the outside instead of having the outside going in and out all the time.

Perfect.

Except give it a few weeks and they’ll have us hoovering out the tent!
