As earlier mentioned, our apartment is quite small, so keeping the place very tidy is essential! I believe I am developing great habits of washing the dishes immediately after cooking! (As I type this my hands are still slightly moist with soap suds from me and Kittys afternoon lunch) Our "kitchen" isn't really a kitchen at all, so much as a strip of counter top space (with a stove and a fridge) that runs along the side of the living room. Pretty quaint and cute to have everything in one spot... but absolutely important to keep clean!
A funny (but serious!) problem we have is that SWEDISH BROOMS ARE STUPID!!!!! I sweep several times a day (thanks to Laska) and the floor space is so small that it should be a simple chore- however the broom that was left us in the apartment is ridiculously short. It seems a child's broom. Okay, fine- we had to deal with a lot of silliness for this rental, this one was a simple fix- buy a gown up broom, right? Wrong!!!! We have been to SO many stores, searching for a real broom, and to our continued dismay (and amazed bewilderment) this mini sized broom is the only kind that is sold! We cannot sweep without bending over, and my back aches after mere seconds ... it is the right height for Kitty, I suppose I should teach her to sweep.
If anyone is planning a visit, you are charged with 'carrying on' an American broom!
