    Have you been using cleaning firms when.. "movie clean"? "final clean"? Or whatever it might be called in english. As in, when you move out of an apartment and have to clean it...

    I've noticed the tradition here in Sweden has gone from doing it yourself to paying for the service. 

    That was where I typically spent my security deposit.  (When moving in you generally have to provide an amount of money to be used against any excessive wear & tear or damages upon move out)  Just clear out the general shit, vacuum, and let them take out any cleaning costs from my deposit.  Any time I received any deposit amount back it was a bonus -- one generally spent on a dinner/night out immediately.  :lol:

    Whoop whoop, i hope you will be celebrating moving in day as well tomorrow, after all the lifting and furniture arranging. 

    I might be able to celebrate with you by drinking a beer  remotely

    Yeah. I will treat my friends helping out to  food afterwards and maybe even a beer if they have not been lazy. Hopefully we are finished early so the sun and heat  hasn't gone away.

    I'm not sure if Sweden has relaxed social distancing or perhaps you'll all wear masks!  I bet you'll have some interesting vegan dishes! Sounds lovely. The days are better with more sunlight!

    Are you doing anything to acclimate your kitty to her new digs?

    Pizza and beer and friends, and with any luck a friend with a truck - classic moving strategy. 

    Good luck with the move and hope you enjoy your new home.

    Not really. Other than not leaving her alone at the new place yesterday. She’s pretty hooked on finally getting a balcony with afternoon sun and seems pretty calm :)

    All vegan:



    The elevator at the new place broke down when we had gotten only half the stuff up to my apartment on the fourth floor. Haha. And we had left all the big and heavy stiff to bring up last (it was crammed into the back of the truck”  So had to get the new fucking sofa and up by the stairs. So felt good taking a cold beer afterwards. 






    Bought a vintage desk too. Gave away my old desk a few days ago:

    That's typical with the lift....it sounds like something from the Big bang theory and Friends! I'm pleased Kitty is contented and that you had a nice dinner! :)

    Should have bought a two-seat sofa (164 cm). But bought a three-seat sofa (204 cm)... focusing on being able to lie down in it BECAUSE PEARL JAMS CONCERTS OR SO LONG... but now I feel in such  a small apartment I should have had a two-seat sofa and instead just bent my knees when lying down in it. Grr.

    Well, you have all the time in the world to furnish and refurnish YOUR place. If a year goes by and you find yourself stubbing your toe on that three seater, switch it out for a two seater.

    You are not including the factor of "cost" though. It's good to buy the right thing at once, when you are buying something new. Hehe. But I get your point. And I think the three-seater is the right choice... but have a bit of a crammed feel now. I'll get used to it.
