New Brooms

For a number of reasons I have decided I need to change the locks on the doors of my house. So off I trotted to the local hardware store thankfully without the beeping smoke alarm from my last visit. After discussing what I need to do before purchasing and fitting new locks I remembered I also need a new brush for outside. After several months of neglect I had decided to sweep the patio outside, but my first brushstroke with my rugged old brush resulted in the head of the broom parting from the broom handle.

I asked the young man in the shop which brush he would recommend as there were a lot of different kinds parked outside the shop. After establishing it was just for sweeping up leaves and general rubbish he came to his own conclusion.

'You don't need a stiff one then. '

I leave you to imagine my response or ponder over what your own would be, but I was still chucking when I arrived back home with my new broom. And no I didn't fly on it.
