Book: Superwoman, everything you need to know about running a home in South Africa today. Shirley Conran

I do use the word "reading" very loosely. It was more a case of skimming through it on the flight back from Joburg to Cape Town. I saw the book on my Mom's bookshelf and the chapter about cleaning more effectively caught my eye. We don't have a domestic worker, so I allocate time for cleaning every Saturday morning (it's quite a full body workout!).

Going through the book, which was published in 1972, I just thought how grateful I am for Google. The more I went through the book the more I realised that I was very unlikely to change my already quite established habits, and the likelihood of making my own cleaning concoctions was zero.
