More on the Elderflowers

Edinburgh got a bit too much for me, a flatmates family friends came to visit, and whilst lovely and gracious they made me feel a little nervous. I like to maintain a little bit of chaos, I can't stand everything being perfectly tidy, and I like things to be a little out of order. Now then, I cleaned the flat from top to bottom, save the spare room, which I still haven't unpacked, but seeing as I've been there just over a week things are still getting moved about. I have loads of books, and left some of them in the kitchen on the bench, not getting in anyones way, and I like having  books in the kitchen, far better than having a telly in there. 

I don't know if it's an American thing, or if she was trying to be helpful, but the woman staying moved all my things around, moved things out of the spare room (including my gardening things!) and was re-cleaning everything I had already cleaned that morning.  I don't know why, but this made me feel exceptionally uncomfortable. Maybe it's just having someone I don't know going into rooms in my house they were not invited to go into and move things that they have no reason to touch. It also made me feel like she was critisising my efforts. People shouldn't make you feel uncomfortable in your own home, and she has no idea why I saved the fruit boxes she threw away (they were to plant seeds) or why certain things were in the spare room (such as a watering can, seed packets etc) before she moved them. I don't understand why people take the liberty to be so fucking nosy and do things they were not invited to do, and were certainly not welcome to do. I would never dream of going to their house and moving things from room to room, so why should they do that to me? 

I didn't say anything, I just decided to go to the countryside instead. Hopefully they will have left everything alone. 

An update on the elderflower brews, made some, needs yeast, though smells perfumed and amazing, will hopefully become booze soon.
