After all the months of lockdown and watching as my house turned from an artistic and interesting home into practical areas of extra ‘offices’ and a ‘gym’ for my virtual Dance Barre classes, I realised my home had become a house that was functional, but a real mess... Board games we had rediscovered were stacked in huge piles on the dining room table and electrical cables curled from the inverter throughout the house like snakes so we were prepared for load shedding.
