Stairmaster
There are 28 steps in the stairs of our Victorian three-storey dwelling. The Stairs are rather steep, and there is no carpet down yet, if there ever will be. The wooden steps are painted a gloss black, so that the dust that gathers becomes even more evident, and the stress of not having scrubbed the halls, stairs and landing for over a week becomes an overwhealming large tar ball of guilt. A clean house is a happy house.
mrO Has long been trying to climb these stairs, to make it to the top without the oxygen an occasional helping hand at the back provides.
Today he he did it. Unaided, he climbed the 28 steps to the summit. His ten month old legs swiftly but methodically, one step at a time, made it to the second floor without a single splinter to show for it.
