Trash removal

So now when the housewarming is over and done with it was time to do a little clean-up of all the leftovers that not only the party generated, but all the boxes, paper and other remains of the move. Luckily Zürich city provides a pick-up service with paper removal twice a month and carton removal once a month. On top of that I have three bags of old clothes and shoes to give away, which they also pick up once in a while. As a matter of fact now in October. I have also made several trips to the glassbank to get rid of all the bottles we consumed last weekend, even though Bro took the four megabottles with Prosecco with him that he brought and we finished without trouble. Think it might have held 12 liters of bubbly. Together with countless beer cans, wine bottles and even soft drinks (I think the one kid drank 4 pet-bottles on his own of Coke). The kid was fascinated by my ice machine, and in the end of the evening it was like a pool around the freezer. He didn't get that you have to deposit the ice in a bucket to prevent spluttering, but what can you expect from an 11-year old? Brains develop later in boys...if at all. It is starting to look a lot like home now. The only thing I am missing is a dining table and some chairs, but I have a cunning plan. Also some shelves I need to buy, but no hurry. And only 3 boxes left to unpack. Mostly with paperwork and photos, for which I also have a clever plan. And tonight it's housewarming at the neighbours! I they allow me you'll see pics later.
