We’re lucky to have vacuum cleaner, none of
our student friends have one – it’s the last thing you want to buy when you’re
in this transient lifestyle. A ‘grownup’
couple that we got to know in Baltimore gave it to us when we were moving here
and every single time I vacuum, I think of them and feel grateful.
The first year we were here, we bought a
dustbuster. That thing kind of worked
but somehow we lost the filter and it was useless without it. In those days our house was more of a room with
a bathroom than a house. The next year
we had wooden floors so we kind of got by with sweeping and mopping. We were given an ancient hoover. It didn't have a very strong suck and the rugs
we had were like Velcro for my hair.
I recently discovered which plug I can use
so that I never have to change plugs and I can vacuum every corner of our
house. It’s the little things that can
make me happy.
plug (NZ) = outlet (US)
