Brunch at the Fumoir Saving the future
Oct 19

It’s 11pm and my friends (Jaina and her boyfriend, Giraffe and her boyfriend, setunado) after spending 3 days cleaning the apartment and basement. We managed to fill the Sharan TWICE with shit… Twice.

A quick summary of things we found down there:

  • Food from the 80s
  • Saranwrap from the 80s
  • Old magazines from 85
  • Disgusting earth
  • Old cobwebs

On Saturday morning, Giraffe and I went to Ikea. 275 euros later, I had two new CD/DVD shelves, a storage unit for the basement, clear plastic boxes for storage, new lamp, new curtains… It was great. Then we went downstairs to clean the basement, which took an age. There was so much shit from when we moved from England, then when we moved back from America. It’s insane what my mother brought back! Old junk that no sane person would have brought back.

We manage to fill up the entire courtyard with stuff and all the neighbours came around to see what the hell was going on. Nosy bastards were probably wondering if I was (finally) moving out. Hah, fat chance. Now it’s gonna be non-stop partying til the wee hours of the morning at mine.

Now, the fridge has taken its rightful place in the kitchen (easy, once you remove the kitchen door before moving fridge), I’ve thrown out enough stuff to last me two or three lifetimes and have a clean, clean, CLEAN kitchen.

Today, the day ended with burgers (homemade, my secret recipe), fries and beers.

So big thanks to the 5 of them, I couldn’t have made it without them.
