A General House Cleaning

It was calm and warm today and suitable for a general house cleaning.
I cleaned windows by newspapers and towels. Then I cut twigs of one tree and picked up leaves in the garden.
After cleaning, I picked up my wife and took lunch with her. Then I went to a golf range for my health and to a barber shop. So I was very busy today and felt satisfied.
